The point named when #0030 was closed is done. A job in the cluster
extracted the newest archive into an emptyDir and compared it against the
production PVC mounted read-only: every one of the 309 files present in
both is byte-identical by sha256.
That is a stronger statement than the database drill makes. There it was
shown that rows arrive; here that the restored files are the running ones.
Three flaws in the test, all mine, and all written down. busybox find has
no -printf, so the byte counts came out as a silent zero beside real
numbers. The first run compared totals and counted every cache prune as a
mismatch, when the backup is a snapshot and production keeps running - the
intersection is what proves anything. And my exception knew url_cache but
not url_cache_thumbnails, so it reported a finding outside the cache that
was not one; the filter worked, its list did not.
Still unproven: the emergency path itself, copying back into the PVC. What
is proven is that the data come out of the archive complete and unaltered.
