How do we tell the difference between a clean backup report and real recoverability?

A completed backup job only proves that one process finished. Real recoverability means the right data was captured, offsite or isolated copies exist where expected, restore steps are documented, and timed test restores have confirmed that the environment can come back in a usable state.

That is why buyers should evaluate reporting and testing together. If the platform reports success clearly but makes restore validation hard, it may be measuring activity more accurately than resilience.
