i hate tinkering so i would never do anything that disturbs the system itself, timeahift advertises itself as a backup system, never seen anywhere that said backup needs to be tested, whatever that even means. besides i shouldn't have to do that to begin with.
I don't know what to tell you, you must be really new, because recovery tests are the first thing that is said when discussing backups. It's the backbone of systems operations. If you don’t test your backups for recoverability, you really don’t have backups at all. is a widespread saying in the tech industry.
