Proxmox Restore Validation

Claim supported

Direct restore validation evidence supports one isolated Linux01 restore drill from source VM 400 to temporary VM 401.

Directly observed values

  • Source VM: 400.
  • Temporary restore VM: 401.
  • Restored disk size boundary: VM 400 boot disk shown as 40 GB in the retained restore validation source.
  • Temporary VM network isolation: temporary VM network isolated before boot.
  • Guest validation: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS boot and QEMU Guest Agent response were validated in the retained restore evidence.
  • Cleanup: temporary VM 401 was shut down and purged successfully.
  • The source set inspected for this publication does not include a retained per-command restore transcript with archive filename, progress percentage, or literal final TASK OK line; those details are therefore not claimed here.
  • Operational limitation retained: Proxmox thin-pool risk remains visible and is not framed as a failed restore.

Public artifact SHA-256

Recorded in evidence-library/integrity/evidence-hashes.json for this artifact path. The self-hash is recorded outside this file so the digest does not invalidate itself.

Sanitization performed

Removed PIDs and retained only the VM IDs, restore scope, network isolation, guest identity, guest-agent response, and cleanup outcome needed to support the public claim.

Limitations

  • Personal nonproduction home lab only.
  • Captured-state evidence only.
  • One isolated Linux01 restore drill only.
  • No recurring restore assurance.
  • No RTO or RPO claim.
  • No disaster-recovery readiness, SLA, production, or employer-system claim.
  • Thin-pool warnings are operational limitations and are not evidence of a failed restore.
