Yes, my last job only required once a quarter restores to satisfy SOX. But we were able to drop in a sandbox, or new dev or something like that. Here we have minimal hardware and space, ciao,

I dont have a specific schedule, but when I do a restore I make note of it, and since so far I have had at least one restore per quarter, I have met the management requirement.

Ok, we just got hit with a "Are you testing your backups?" from senior administration. We sometimes use copies to replace test or dev but they want a scheduled plan. The first thing I mentioned was do you have enough space(some db's are over a 1T)? Do you have matching hardware sitting around that I can drop my db's onto? Licensing $$$$? What do you as a community do to satisfy or comply with this?
ciao,
Brian
