We have 4TB of backups. I have 0% confidence they would work today.

Most of us treat Disaster Recovery as a "Check the Box" activity. But with 2026 compliance standards (DORA/EU AI Act/SOC2), the liability of a failed restore is getting dangerous.

I'm validating a concept for Recovery Observability. It's a "Dead Man's Switch" for your cloud. Every time your engineers update your infrastructure, it runs a silent, background restore drill to ensure your "Golden Records" are still accessible.

If you are a CTO or Lead:

  • How do you currently prove to your board/insurers that your 24-hour RPO is actually achievable?
  • Would you pay for a "signed attestation" that your recovery logic is still valid after every deployment?
