-===== Staged Restores & Test Environment Destruction =====
+===== Scheduled Restores =====
-A critical aspect of Zero Trust resilience is **staged restores**, where backups are tested in isolated environments before being reintroduced into production. This ensures data integrity and prevents reinfection from latent threats. Additionally, **on-purpose destruction** of test environments after validation reinforces security by eliminating potential attack surfaces. Engineers should automate these processes to maintain a clean and secure recovery workflow.
+A key pillar of Zero Trust resilience is regular restore testing — not just keeping backups, but actually restoring them into isolated environments to verify their integrity. <WRAP center round important 60%>
+As the saying goes: “you don’t have backups until you restore them.”

+In Zero Trust architectures, backups are often intentionally locked down and segregated, which improves security but can hinder accessibility. This makes routine, automated restore testing even more critical. By periodically spinning up test environments and validating backup data, teams can detect issues early and ensure recoverability under real-world conditions.
