Yes, certainly, if you rely on your backup, both test and verify.
What I was getting at specifically was that after experimenting with
rdiff-backup, I found it problematic.
It very well could be that I did something stupid, or that the software

I was merely interested in provoking due diligence for those who choose
to employ that particular software.
