I'm a big fan of setting up testing and dev environments from the production backups.

For personal backup of files, I just verify the results are in place. I've checked them once or twice, but honestly, I'm more concerned about my scripts stopping running than they running and not being correct.

That is fine, providing you don't operate in a confidential or regulated environment. :/

Yes, many warnings do apply.
