this evening on the HP machine, while setting up the wipe-and-restore proof. We deployed an app whose

book folder is declared *mandatory* — the strongest protection class — put a marked file in it, and
|

ran an off-site backup. **The backup said OK. Three snapshots. The folder was not in any of them.**

The machine knew: one warning line inside the container says the folder was skipped. Nothing else
|

does — not the card, not the counters, not the hub, not you. This is the same shape as everything
|

else we have been fixing this month: *a path the customer thinks is protected is not in the copy.*
|
||||
It is the reason the proof stopped before the wipe — wiping would have destroyed the marked file and
|

proven nothing. **The two apps that were already backing up off-site are unaffected** — they declare

no such folders. *(R-203)*

looking in another — one directory apart, on machines whose apps live on the system disk. They now

resolve to the same place, from a single piece of code instead of the three near-copies that had

quietly drifted. **And a backup that cannot capture a folder marked essential no longer reports
|

success**: it reports *Hiányos* (incomplete), names the app and the folders, and tells you — while
|

still recording what it genuinely did capture, because half a backup is not no backup. Proved on the

HP machine by listing the backup's own contents and finding the marked file there by name and size —

not by trusting a green tick. *(R-203)*

## What we're working on

- **Now:** fixing the folder-left-out-of-the-backup problem above. The wipe-and-restore proof is

**staged and waiting on it** — the machine, the code, the working off-site store, the app and the

- **Now:** the wipe-and-restore proof, which is **unblocked and staged**. The marked file now lands in

the HP machine — the recovery code you saved, a working off-site store, the app and the file. Nothing

## Changed since last update

|

- **2026-08-04 (latest)** — **Fixed the folder-left-out-of-the-backup problem, both halves.** The app
|
||||
and its backup now look in the same directory, and a backup that misses a folder marked essential
|
||||
reports *incomplete* instead of success. Proved by listing the backup's own contents and finding the

marked file. The wipe-and-restore proof is unblocked. *(R-203, R-201)*

wipe**: a folder marked as protected was missing from the off-site backup while the backup reported

success. Three things were proved on the way, all firsts: a rebuilt machine's off-site backup now
