SafeRestore

A sysadmin restored a backup to production instead of dev because he fat-fingered an IP in a hosts file. Five minutes later, nobody could work. Half a million in losses. He got fired Saturday morning. 1,047 people upvoted the story because it's everyone's nightmare — routine restore, wrong target, production obliterated.

Pre-restore safety layer between your backup tool and your infrastructure. Before any restore executes: verify the target via multiple independent checks (DNS, cert, app fingerprint — not just IP), 30-second confirmation with blinking red 'you are about to overwrite PRODUCTION-DB-01' warning, automatic snapshot of the target, and business-hours production blocks. Works with Veeam, Commvault, NAKIVO.
