## Customer-Induced Backup Restore Test

1. Customer requests demo restore via support ticket.
2. SRE picks a random recent backup; restores to clean isolated env.
3. Customer verifies their data via read-only SQL or UI.
4. Cleanup: tear down env, sanitize logs.
5. Document: ticket + timestamps + verification artifacts → audit log.
