Understanding RestorSignal

What RestorSignal does, what it does not do, and why independent verification matters.

Before going into the details of methodology, execution, or security, it helps to understand why RestorSignal exists and how it positions itself relative to whatever backup solution a client already has in place. This section lays out the principles that govern the rest of the documentation: the service replaces nothing, it adds an independent check after the fact.

• Why test restores explains why a "backup successful" status is not, on its own, proof of restorability.
• An independent testing third party details why verification is carried out by a system separate from the one that produces and interprets the backup, and what that separation concretely provides.
• Division of responsibilities clarifies who does what between the backup solution, the client, and RestorSignal — and specifically restates that choosing which artifact to test is always the client's decision.
