About
Vestal is a small, independent product with one conviction: the only backup claim worth anything is one that's been re-proven recently.
Everyone who has run infrastructure long enough has the same story. The backup job was green for months. The cron mail said success. Then a disk died, the restore started, and somewhere in the middle: a checksum error, a missing pack file, a snapshot that referenced data that wasn't there anymore. The backups had been broken for weeks, and every tool in the chain had honestly reported that its own step "worked."
The fix has been known forever: test your restores. Almost nobody does, because it's manual, boring, and always loses to more urgent work. Vestal's job is to make verified backups the path of least resistance: one line in the job you already run, agents that do the tedious verification properly, and an alarm system that treats silence with the suspicion it deserves.
A ping that means "the script finished" is monitoring. A ping that means "we re-read real data from the repository and it checksummed clean" is verification. Vestal exists for the second kind, and every agent is tested by planting real corruption in a real repository and confirming it gets caught before it ships.
The pricing page tells you exactly which backends each Pro feature actually covers today, not just what the plan costs. The security page names the one place we're weaker than ideal and why. The changelog describes bugs we actually shipped and how they were found. A backup-trust product that shades the truth about itself has failed at the only thing it sells.
The agent scripts your infrastructure actually runs are short enough to read end to end before you trust them with real credentials. Verification only works if you're willing to check our work, so we make checking it easy.
Vestal runs on Cloudflare's edge with no servers, no VMs, and no ops burden to pass on to customers. It does one job with a deliberately small surface. Fewer moving parts is a reliability strategy, not a limitation.
