Status: Implemented & Verified
Executive Summary
This report details the implementation, cryptographic architecture, and verification lifecycle of Bastion’s automated disaster recovery pipeline. Moving beyond passive snapshots, the architecture enforces client-side AES-256 encryption, offsite repository replication, and regular cold-restore validation drills to guarantee deterministic recovery in the event of catastrophic storage or hardware loss.
Threat Model & Failure Scenarios
A backup strategy that has not been restored is merely a hypothesis. The backup architecture was designed to mitigate four specific failure modes:
