Testing Cloud Backups

After reading the article below it reminded me to post a recurring thought I've had, which is the ability to test one's online backups. I ask as I have had a difficult time getting SMB orgs with tape backups to test their backups. What about those using the cloud? Has anyone thought of the effect of a regional disaster where limited connectivity exists? Also, in the event of another Katrina, etc. what is the capability for the provider to do multiple restores across the wire?
