Restoration tests

A backup that has never been restored is a backup you can't fully trust. That's why we verify that our backups are restorable, not just that they are generated.

What we verify

That backups complete successfully and on schedule.
That it's possible to restore from them and that the restored environment works.
That point-in-time recovery of the database works as expected.

Why it matters to you

Many data-loss incidents don't happen for lack of backups, but because the existing backups turned out not to be usable at the moment of truth. Verifying restoration turns the backup from a promise into a proven capability.

Continuous improvement

Every restoration test we run feeds into improving our recovery procedures: timing, steps, and automation.

Pending validation

The formal frequency of restoration tests and the scope of the associated report are documented internally; if your evaluation requires it, we can share the available detail on request.
