How to Test Restore Your SQL Server Databases!

If you are not doing test restores from your SQL Server backups, how do you know they are any good in an emergency?

Good info. As my DBA friends say, we don't get paid to backup databases, we get paid to restore them.
Appreciate your content.

Our problem is that we don't do the backups our server team does and they use Rubrik. Is there a way I can use this command to connect to Rubrik and get the restore that way?

This one probably doesn't work with TDE databases as you described since you need DEKs on both ends
