just watch the exact method you use to restore.. i.e. don't overwrite your
database, ensure your restore is valid before renaming files to their
original disposition... and doing this nightly is overkill IMHO - once every
six months is great.. in between time do a scheduled backup and restore to a
dummy file to check things are good and healthy. this can be done nightly if
you wish. This utility is great for the nighly routine
