infra/backup/test-destructive-restore-drill.sh - realistic academy data
(owner, admin instructor, cohort, 3 students, progress, attempts, an
assessment definition, achievements) seeded through the REAL Platform API,
encrypted-backed-up, the source Postgres container genuinely destroyed
(docker rm, not just left running alongside a second one), a fresh
Postgres created from nothing, restored, and the real Platform API booted
again against the restored database and used to log in as the restored
admin instructor over HTTP. Never touches the developer's real database.
Confirmed passing.
pg_dump -> gzip -> gpg AES-256 symmetric encryption, plaintext deleted
immediately, optional off-host rsync-over-SSH copy (Hetzner Storage Box or
any SSH target), retention pruning, Prometheus textfile-collector metrics
for backup success/age/size.
Genuinely tested end-to-end, not just written: real production migrations
(17 total, correct cross-service order) applied to a disposable Postgres,
sample data inserted, backed up, restored into a second disposable
Postgres, verified table-for-table and byte-for-byte. Exit 0.
