Why is testing etcd restore critical?
A backup that has never been successfully restored is not a verified backup. Corruption, format incompatibilities between etcd versions, or incomplete backup procedures may prevent restoration in an actual disaster. Quarterly restore drills verify the entire backup-and-restore process works under the conditions you would face in a real incident.
