I provide a test system in a vm. I have an installation script for the db. Dump the db and replace paths, import, start application, done. This can then be used to test the new release before deployment.

bonus: the vm can be used for debugging or used as playground

Be mindful of what customer data you’re handling though.

Underrated problem of testing backups, generally. Making it easy/common can also mean greater exposure to risk of data leaks, if you don't take great care.
