Add backup verification and restore testing #224

@accuser

Description

@accuser

Problem

Backup procedures exist but lack verification and restore testing capabilities.

Location: BACKUP.md, Makefile

Current Gaps

  • No automated backup verification (restore testing)
  • No backup integrity checks
  • Relies on manual execution or snapshots.schedule
  • No restoration test procedures

Recommendations

  1. Add make backup-verify target that:

    • Restores a snapshot to a test volume
    • Validates data integrity (checksums, service startup)
    • Reports success/failure
  2. Implement automated daily snapshots via systemd timers or cron

  3. Test disaster recovery procedures quarterly

  4. Add integrity verification after backup completion

Acceptance Criteria

  • make backup-verify command implemented
  • Backup integrity checks automated
  • DR testing procedure documented
  • Quarterly testing schedule established

Priority

High - critical for disaster recovery confidence
