David,
I'll have to agree with Dennis on this one. We bit the bullet a long time
ago and now have enough disk space and platforms to replicate our ~750Gb
production database to 3 test instances. The man-hours to design and
mantain a viable subset for accurate testing was deemed more costly.

So, Dennis, do you always have enough disk space on your test/dev servers to
hold an entire copy of Production? For sites with VLDB, this is not
possible.
(I agree that testing your backups is critical, and this is one method to do
that- if you have enough disk space in Test.)
