Oh you mean they should be testing/validating the generated backup db file before replicating it to long-term archive ...

Way back when use cases were a thing, I used to chide people for saying that Backup was a use case.

No, Restore is a use case.

(Replace "use case" with "requirement" or "user story"...)

A corollary to this would be: “Backups are worthless. Restores are priceless.”
