How the Backup Recovery Testing Agent works

Every run reads from the tools you connect, works through its brief, and keeps what it learns in a persistent workspace, so context carries forward instead of starting from scratch.

Delivers
  • A report after each run

    Sent to your Slack, Telegram, or another channel you connect.

  • Drafts that wait for you

    Anything that leaves your business is written for your approval, not sent on its own.

The Backup Recovery Testing Agent, on autopilot

Each task runs on its own schedule in a managed environment. Adjust any of them, or add your own.

  1. Task 01Weekly on Sunday at 03:00

    Weekly Restore Test

    Actually restore the newest backup into ~/scratch/restore-test/ (a scratch path only, never toward live data), then verify integrity per ~/workspace/BACKUPS.md: row counts, file counts, checksums…

    Once a week

  2. Task 02Daily at 06:00

    Daily Freshness Check

    Check the newest backup's age against the policy in ~/workspace/BACKUPS.md, plus its size against the last known good (state in ~/state/backups-seen.json; update it). Stay silent unless something is wrong…

    About 7 runs a week

What it delivers

Each run ends with a message in your channel. Here is the brief the Backup Recovery Testing Agent's first task works from.
