Disaster Recovery & Restore Verification
Encrypted backup and recovery system spanning local rsync, off-site object storage, checksums and disposable restore verification rather than backup-success alone.
OVERVIEW
What I built.
Encrypted backup and recovery system spanning local rsync, off-site object storage, checksums and disposable restore verification rather than backup-success alone.
Built local and off-site backup paths with encryption, checksums and policy checks.
Added immutable/off-site storage handling instead of relying on a single machine copy.
Made restore verification a first-class test instead of treating a successful backup command as proof of recoverability.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
How the system is divided.
Production data -> local staged backup -> encrypted/off-site B2 tier.
Checksums and policy checks verify backup artifacts.
Disposable restore jobs validate that selected data can actually be recovered.
NETWORK / DATA FLOW
What talks to what.
TECHNOLOGY STACK
The technical surface.
IMPLEMENTATION
How it works in practice.
- 01
Production data -> local staged backup -> encrypted/off-site B2 tier.
- 02
Checksums and policy checks verify backup artifacts.
- 03
Disposable restore jobs validate that selected data can actually be recovered.
TESTING & VALIDATION
How I know it works.
Backup artifact generation
SHA-256 verification
Retention/policy checks
Off-site transfer
Disposable restore verification
Recovery runbook exercises
EXTERNAL SERVICES & DEPENDENCIES
What sits outside the core.
ENGINEERING EVIDENCE
Artifacts behind the claims.
BOUNDARIES / CONSTRAINTS
What the project does not pretend to solve.
—Backup success alone is not treated as recoverability
—Credentials stay runtime-only
—Off-site copies are immutable/isolated by design where supported
RESULT / CURRENT STATE
What this produced.
A DR workflow focused on recoverability evidence, not merely backup-file existence.
