Disaster recovery

Do not confuse backup with DR

Posture	Meaning
Local-only backup	Recovery copy on the same host — useful, but not site-loss DR
Off-host backup (S3-compatible / SFTP, validated)	Better posture for server or site loss

Operator expectations

1. Keep verified backups (--backup-verify)
2. Prefer off-host copies for site-loss scenarios
3. Practice restore tests on disposable paths when possible
4. Treat untrusted imports as quarantine candidates

Local backup and restore remain available tools for an installed environment. Off-host destinations strengthen recoverability when you configure and validate them.
