A successful pg_dump command only confirms that a backup executed, not that the data is truly recoverable. To ensure effective disaster recovery, a comprehensive verification contract is necessary. This contract should define recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO), specify the databases, roles, and extensions to be covered, and include checks for schema integrity, permissions, and representative queries. It must also address backup and verification age, artifact checksums, and ownership for failed drills, while actively testing for various failure scenarios like corrupt archives or interrupted restores.
