Its hard to guess what would be meaningful since we wont know how
large your production data set will be. In fact, if your data is of
sufficient size, you may need to a difference backup strategy.

There are some data-sets available, but I expect that such samples are
not of sufficient size to stress any backup/recovery tests that you
might have.
