Short answer: A recent success message helps, but a restore test provides stronger evidence.
Try these steps
- Check the latest successful run, covered folders and error messages.
- Restore a non-sensitive sample file to a different location and open it.
- Document who can access the backup and how recovery works if the original device fails.
When to ask for help
Do not overwrite the original during a test. For business systems, agree on acceptable recovery time and data loss.
