restorable docs

Restorable docs

Restorable backs up your databases, runs scheduled restore tests, and signs a receipt for every test. You forward the weekly receipt to your auditor. They verify it with a public key, independent of us.

These docs walk you through it end to end. Every page ends with a concrete next action.

Nine steps

  1. 01 Sign up Verify an email; an org and your first user exist. →
  2. 02 Install the agent A single binary on a dedicated mini VM. →
  3. 03 Connect Paste an auth key; the agent mints its token. →
  4. 04 Add a source Point the agent at a database URI. →
  5. 05 Write a check A short SQL that says "healthy looks like this." →
  6. 06 First receipt The agent backs up, restores to scratch, signs. →
  7. 07 Manage sources Add, remove, edit sources in config.yaml. →
  8. 08 Disaster recovery The real restore, when you actually need it. →
  9. 09 Verify independently An auditor checks a receipt with just a public key. →

Two audiences

Most of the site is for the person running the agent and reading the evidence emails. One section, Verify, is the auditor track: how to check a receipt is real without any Restorable code running.
