SustainedCloudBackup Verification
Monitoring that your backups actually ran. And can actually restore. The difference between having backups and being able to use them when it counts.
When you need this
Sound familiar?
- The backups have been green for a year. Nobody has opened one.
- A backup job stopped running months ago, and nothing complained.
- Your provider says backups run. Proof was never part of the deal.
- An auditor asks for your last successful restore test. Silence.
Why it matters
A backup you've never restored is a hope, not a plan. Verification is the difference between assuming you're covered and knowing it.
How it works
The service, explained.
Confirmation that every job actually ran
We monitor your backup jobs and alert the moment one fails, rather than trusting a green light from months ago. A backup that silently stopped running is worse than none, because it feels like safety.
Restores tested, not taken on faith
We periodically restore from your backups to prove the data comes back intact and usable. That test is the whole difference between having backups and being able to rely on them when it counts.

FAQ
Common questions.
We already have backups. Why verify them?
Because backups fail quietly: jobs stop, disks fill, and the green icon lies. Verification is the difference between having backups and knowing they work, and only the second one counts during an incident.
Do test restores endanger production?
No. Restores land in an isolated environment, never on top of live systems. Production notices nothing.
Does this work with our existing backup software?
Usually yes: verification watches results and performs restores, it does not require replacing your stack. If your current setup cannot support restore testing at all, that finding alone is worth the engagement.
What do auditors and insurers get from this?
Dated, documented restore tests, which is exactly what cyber-insurance questionnaires and compliance reviews increasingly demand. Saying you back up daily impresses nobody anymore; a dated restore record does.
