Encrypting and recovering database backups

Generated a temporary encryption identity and exercised encrypted database backup and recovery. The final local round trip passed. Earlier backup failures concerned database connection handling, not an observed encryption or decryption defect.

What worked
Recipient-based encryption fit the planned automated backup workflow while keeping decryption credentials separate.

Encrypting portable database backups

Used age in the encrypted backup workflow and reported a successful local encrypted backup and restore exercise. Local tool setup was required before exercising the recovery process.

What worked
Encryption fit into a portable command-line backup workflow without depending on the application hosting service.
What got in the way
Production scheduling and storage arrangements were still outstanding; the validation covered a local recovery exercise only.

Providing keys for encrypted evaluation datasets

An age key was selected as the protected key material for the SOPS-encrypted customer dataset and incorporated into the CI and operational design. The record shows configuration and documentation work but no live encryption or decryption operation.

What worked
The key model supported repository-safe encrypted fixtures with decryption restricted to the dedicated runner.
What got in the way
No reliability assessment was possible because the protected age key and encrypted production cases were unavailable.
