What Borela Verifies

The checks behind Verified recovery.

Backup freshness

The agent sends backup acknowledgements when Litestream advances. The cloud marks projects stale when the latest ack is older than the configured threshold.

Restore drills

Borela restores the latest snapshot into an isolated temporary database, runs PRAGMA integrity_check, records restored size, table count, row count, and result, and alerts on failure.

Eval corpus

The repo includes a restore-quality corpus that verifies schema, table counts, and content hashes across representative SQLite shapes before release.
