- **A backup reported success while leaving out a folder the customer was told is protected.** Found
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)*
- *(fixed 4 Aug)* ~~A backup reported success while leaving out a folder the customer was told is
protected.~~ **Both halves fixed the same day.** The app was writing to one folder and the backup was
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
marked file are all in place; only the missing folder blocks it. Nothing was wiped. Both honesty fixes shipped today: a changed backup key now
- **Now:** the wipe-and-restore proof, which is **unblocked and staged**. The marked file now lands in
the off-site backup, so there is finally something to recover. Everything else is already in place on
the HP machine — the recovery code you saved, a working off-site store, the app and the file. Nothing
has been wiped; that step waits for your go-ahead at a marked stop point. Both honesty fixes shipped today: a changed backup key now
raises an alarm on the day, and the email that stated the opposite of what it measured now describes
what it actually saw.

## 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

- **2026-08-04 (late)** — Set up the wipe-and-restore proof on the HP machine and **stopped before the

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