CEDX Backup · IT & Security

A backup you have
never tested is a rumour.

CEDX Backup tracks the jobs — but it scores the restores. Every asset carries a readiness score, every restore point is checked for infection, and the gaps board sizes what is not protected at all, in terabytes.

The demo's primary database has a point 6.0 hours old — and a restore test 45 days stale that failed. The product's advice, on screen: restore to an isolated cleanroom, not prod.

What it is

Recovery is the feature. Backup is the chore.

Restore readiness, scored like risk

64 assets on the readiness model, 21 not ready at score ≥70. The heat grid names them — a finance file share at 98 whose last success is past the RPO window — and infected restore points feed the score at +15 weight each, so a poisoned backup makes you less ready, not more.

The gaps board, sized in terabytes

48 coverage gaps, 101 TB uncovered. Reasons are explicit: orphaned chain 40 days, no policy for 55 days, never backed up. Each row carries blast score, tier, days exposed and size — a legacy archive at 7.8 TB does not hide behind a percentage.

  • Reasons: orphaned chain, no policy, never backed up
  • Blast ≥70 isolates the 13 that matter first
  • Sizes in TB and GB on every row

Jobs, with the failures first

320 jobs in the demo corpus: 47 failed, 85 warning or failed, 85 past their RPO window. Age in hours is on the row — a database catalog job at 668 hours is a finding, not a footnote.

  • Failed 47 · RPO breach 85 · success 155 as tabs
  • Type chips: VM, database, endpoint, file share
  • OK percentage and age in hours per job

Product tour

Four screens, captured from the running build.

Not a mockup and not a concept deck. This is what opens at /app/backup.

01 — Overview

Recovery posture, not job green

Job health is 62.8% — and the screen says the harder things too: 85 jobs past their RPO window, 13 high-blast assets unprotected, a 439 TB corpus. The analyst bar answers the question you actually have: can I restore this database to before Sunday?

  • Point-in-time restore answered with caveats attached
  • Protected versus restore activity, weekly
  • Coverage mix across 320 assets on the ring

02 — Restore readiness

The assets you could not bring back today

Top of the heat grid: a finance file share, a store endpoint, a cache host — all at 98, all past their RPO window. The infected-points table above it lists which restore points are quarantined, per asset.

  • Not ready ≥70 · 21 assets need recovery proof
  • Critical ≥80 · 10 urgent
  • Average risk 59 across the scored set

03 — Unprotected

What is not covered at all

The gap cards sort by blast: an orphaned payment-mail chain 29 days exposed at 98, an HR ledger with no policy for 55 days at 91, secrets infrastructure 18 days orphaned at 88. Gaps, not jobs — things nothing is even trying to back up.

  • Gap board, blast timeline, gap model tabs
  • Min-blast chips: ≥60, ≥70, ≥85
  • CSV export of the gap table

04 — Jobs

The chore, supervised

When you need the plumbing: every job with status, type, OK percentage and age. Warning rows outnumber failures — the point of the screen is that both are visible before the RPO breach tab fills up.

  • Search job, repository or id
  • Warn+ and RPO breach as first-class tabs
  • Age in hours, sortable

Who runs it

Three roles keep recovery honest.

Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.

Backup administrator

Owns the job stream and the RPO breaches — the 85 jobs past window are theirs to clear, oldest first.

RPO breach · 85

Asset owner

Works the gaps board: every uncovered asset gets a policy, a chain, or a decision — with the size of the exposure on the row.

uncovered · 101 TB

Recovery tester

Runs the restore tests and the cleanroom restores — the 45-day-stale failed test on the primary database is the kind of finding they exist to close.

How it runs

A restore's life, in the order it actually happens.

01

Protect

Assets bind to policies and chains — and the gaps board counts whatever did not, in terabytes, with the reason.

02

Verify

Jobs run, but readiness is the score that matters: last success inside the RPO window, restore test fresh, points free of infection.

03

Quarantine

Infected restore points are flagged and weighted into readiness at +15 each — a poisoned point is a liability, not a safety net.

04

Restore

When the day comes, the answer is specific: latest point 6.0 hours old, test 45 days stale, two points infected — restore to an isolated cleanroom.

One record

Coverage follows the asset,
not the spreadsheet.

An asset only appears on the gaps board because the estate knows it exists — the device, the owner and the control are the same record elsewhere.

Questions

Before you pilot Backup.

Is the software on this page real?

Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build and you can open the same build at /app/backup. It runs on demo data — Northline is the sample estate.

What is restore readiness?

A per-asset score built from signals you can read: last successful backup inside the RPO window, restore-test freshness, and infected restore points weighted in at +15 each. The heat grid shows the worst 12 and every cell opens its evidence.

What does the gaps board show?

Assets nothing is protecting: 48 rows, 101 TB, each with a reason — orphaned chain, no policy, never backed up, offline past RPO, partial only — plus days exposed and size. It exists so the uncovered 146 are a list with owners, not a surprise.

How are infected restore points handled?

They are flagged, quarantined and fed into the readiness score. The Overview's point-in-time answer for the primary database is the honest version: latest point 6.0 hours old, but the restore test is 45 days stale and failed — restore to an isolated cleanroom, not prod.

Is Backup audited or certified?

No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and retention is written up on the security page.

The gaps are sized. Go and look at them.

Live build, demo data, no card. Then ask which of your assets is one restore test away from being a rumour.
