Backup Restore Validator

Overview

Check whether backup and restore plans are actually restorable, verifiable, and operationally safe.

Core Workflow

1. Inspect the relevant diffs, configs, source files, or artifacts before forming a conclusion.
2. Compare the current state against repo conventions, expected guarantees, and known risk areas.
3. Prioritize the highest-impact gaps, regressions, or improvement opportunities instead of surface-level noise.
4. Recommend the smallest high-leverage changes and the checks that would validate them.

Deliver

• Ranked findings or improvement opportunities with clear evidence.
• The main risks, tradeoffs, or regressions that matter most.
• Validation steps or follow-up edits that would reduce risk.

Guardrails

• Lead with findings, not generic praise or low-value commentary.
• Use repo evidence and surrounding context instead of reviewing in isolation.
• Flag missing validation when a recommendation depends on behavior you could not confirm.
• Do not deploy, apply, rotate, or mutate live infrastructure unless the user explicitly asks for it.
