But have you tried restoring on a new box to test your backups?

More then once.
Every now and then I'm using VirtualBox on my desktop for that purpose and make sure the network settings look like the one from the Zimbra server.

Once I had to do a disaster recovery on a production server. Same procedure, had that server up and running in no time with a minimal loss of data.
