Why can a backup that "completed successfully" still fail to recover?

A backup vendor reports job completion, not data integrity. If ransomware has been silently corrupting data, the backup can complete successfully while the data inside it is unrecoverable. Restoring from a recovery point that contains ransomware can also reintroduce the threat.

The fix is recovery-point validation, not another backup status check. Elastio inspects backup contents to confirm a recovery point is clean before restore begins, then identifies the last known clean point per asset.
