Read the Restore Drill Validation Report

You need to pull the key pass, RPO, RTO, checksum, and file-count lines from a restore drill report.

Command

cd restore-dr && grep -E 'status=|rpo_minutes=|rto_seconds=|checksum=|file_count=' reports/restore-dr-2026-06-25.txt

What changed

Nothing changes. The command reads the report.

Danger

safe

When to use it

Use after a drill to capture the validation signals people will ask for during an incident review.

When not to use it

Do not use a report as a substitute for running the restore and validation commands.

Undo or recovery

No undo needed because this command is read-only.

Expected output

Key report lines showing status, RPO, RTO, checksum, and file-count results.

Keep restore evidence.

End the drill with evidence: status, RPO, RTO, checksum, and file-count results. Future you needs receipts.
