A self-hosted backup-restoration verification tool that turns restore tests into qualified operational signals, incident history, and follow-up actions.

Why it surfaced

RestorSignal is unusually clear about the gap between a green backup job and a usable restore: its example records a failed MariaDB import, an acknowledgement, a changed artifact, and a later L3 retest without erasing the original failure. The site also proposes an isolated restore worker and a separate reporting channel, rather than another dashboard layered onto the backup system.
