Zend Server backup restore integrity validation missing
0 reputation · 15 May 2023, 08:54 UTC
Zend Server includes a built-in backup and restore utility that can archive server configuration, PHP settings, deployed applications and optional database dumps into a single archive. The restore operation extracts the archive and replaces the current configuration and application files.
The documentation describes the restore flow but does not specify whether integrity validation is performed automatically or prompted before completion. The behavior regarding checksum comparison or hash verification of restored content against the backup manifest is unclear, and the expected administrator responsibility for confirming data fidelity after restore is not defined.
Does the restore process perform any automatic integrity validation of extracted files? Is there a documented step or prompt to validate integrity before the restore is considered complete? What is the supported method for confirming that restored configuration and applications match the backup?
