That's not a real recovery test.  That just tests IBM's code for the umpteenth time.  

A real recovery test is to pick a date within the last 14 days and recover to it with the tapes that are normally generated.  In all the recovery tests I've done for customers (many on to Agile's equipment) I've never seen the first one work, rarely the second one, and generally the third one gets into the acceptable range (meaning the company could continue business with some additional work to follow) 

The only recovery tests that do work are the ones that have been done several times with the backup routines changed to match the recovery plan/requirements.

When I did a brms recovery it was from a brms full save immediately prior. 
 More of a migration than a DR test.  However, I did do 11 migrations this way.
