Unresolved Conflict Resolution and Integrity Verification in Terramate Point‑in‑Time Restore

Integrity Validation and Conflict Resolution in Terramate

Terramate does not guarantee automatic data integrity validation via checksum recomputation during a point-in-time restore, nor is there a universal default conflict resolution mechanism when overwriting an active dataset.

Confirmed Facts vs. Assumptions

• Integrity: Automatic checksum recomputation during verification is dependent on the specific backup and restore configuration utilized, not a guaranteed default behavior.
• Conflict Resolution: The default behavior when a restored snapshot overlaps an active dataset is implementation-dependent and requires explicit verification against the deployed version's documentation.

Necessary Steps for Resolution

1. Identify the exact Terramate version currently in use.
2. Review the official release notes and configuration documentation specific to that version for explicit integrity check settings.
3. Test the restore process in an isolated, non-production environment to observe the actual conflict resolution behavior.

To refine the recommendation, please provide the specific Terramate version number being deployed.
