A record should answer a question.
A successful job, a file in storage and a working restored site tell you different things. We keep those distinctions visible in our guides and in the product.
These articles explain backup practice. BackupTool monitors reported activity and records separate evidence; your backup software creates and restores the archives.
Who is responsible for these guides?
BackupTool is operated by Andrejus Sevcovas, a Lithuanian individual business owner. The guides are published by BackupTool, with linked WordPress and provider documentation so you can check the source. Examples are illustrative; they are not customer results or independent recovery tests.
