Field notes
The proposed workflow restores pg_dump output into a disposable container rather than treating successful upload as evidence of recoverability. The page specifies checks for tables, rows, foreign keys, sequences, extensions, RLS policies, and customer-supplied probe queries, then says the container is destroyed after reporting. It names Postgres versions 13–17 and offers a self-hosted path where dumps and encryption occur on the customer’s VPS.
