Restore Verification

Restore Verification

Prove your Proxmox backups actually restore and boot. On-demand restore tests with a screenshot, boot log and signed PDF report. The only managed Proxmox Backup Server that validates restorability.

What's included

Restore test on demand

Boot any backup on isolated hardware we provide, and prove it actually starts.

Screenshot of the booted machine

Visual proof the VM reached its login prompt, captured from the console.

Boot log capture

The guest's own boot journal, captured via the serial console and QEMU guest agent.

Signed PDF report

A tamper-evident, dated record you can keep for audits and insurers.

VMs and LXC containers

Both are supported. Boot log for every guest; screenshot for VMs.

Pay per test with credits

No commitment. Buy restore-test credits with volume discounts.

Restore Test

Test a Proxmox restore in one click

From the Cloud-PBS dashboard, pick a backup and launch a restore test. We take care of restoring that backup from the snapshot and booting it. A successful backup job proves a file was written; a restore test proves it comes back to life.

  • One-click restore test from the dashboard
  • Restores the exact snapshot you choose
  • Signed, tamper-proof report
Proof

Screenshot, boot log and signed PDF report

Every restore test leaves evidence that survives the test. You get a screenshot of the booted machine, the full boot log captured from inside the guest, and a signed PDF report tying it all together with timestamps and a cryptographic signature. That is the document you want in your hand during an audit or a cyber-insurance renewal. Note: for LXC containers, a screenshot cannot be captured today, so a container test gives you the boot log and the report rather than a screenshot.

  • Screenshot of the guest that came back to life
  • Boot log via serial console and QEMU guest agent
  • Signed PDF report, tamper-evident and dated
Isolated & Automatic

Isolated during the test, torn down after

Your backup is restored offline, automatically. You handle nothing, no complex setup. What you keep is the proof.

  • Network-isolated sandbox for every test
  • Automatic teardown when the test completes
  • Nothing to provision or clean up yourself
Unique to Cloud-PBS

The only managed PBS that proves restorability

Most backup solutions check that the backup file exists, or at best verify its stored integrity. Cloud-PBS is, as far as we know, the only managed Proxmox Backup Server that actually boots your backup and hands you the proof. Restorability is the only backup metric that matters, and this is how you turn it from a hope into a documented fact.

  • Goes beyond backup integrity verification
  • Actually boots the guest to prove it restores
  • Repeatable proof as your infrastructure changes

Stop hoping your backups restore. Prove it.

Run a Proxmox restore test on your own workload and get a screenshot, boot log and signed PDF report. Included with your Cloud-PBS instance.
