Backup and Restore

Operational recovery guidance for platform state and artifacts.

Back up the run outputs, manifests, and verification artifacts rather than assuming they can always be reconstructed later.

What to preserve

• Run-scoped output directories
• run_manifest.json
• Seal artifacts under seal/
• Any staged input bundle needed for a formal replay or audit workflow

PVC-backed deployments

For PVC storage, preserve data by:

• Snapshotting the persistent disk
• Copying /data/output to a secondary bucket or archive location

GCS-backed deployments

For GCS storage, use:

• Bucket versioning where appropriate
• Lifecycle policies that match your retention requirements
• Explicit export or archive steps for run bundles that must be retained for audit

Restore validation

After restoring data, confirm:

• The expected run_id directories are present
• run_manifest.json and seal artifacts are intact
• Restored outputs match the expected project and run scope
