This is EXACTLY why I mentioned that before I relied on my new backup drive, I tested it against another computer so that I was confident that I could recover the data. But you really emphasize a critical point. If you don't test your backup/recover/DR procedures, you have no idea whether they will work when the emergency comes. This is critical! Last thing you need is to be behind the deadline have a crash, and *then* find out that the backup software won't load on your new OS/PC.
