Round 11, the same action without a power cut, named a fresh 14:34 copy and logged the Tier-2 copy.

A snapshot under `/.zfs/snapshot` belongs to a different dataset than the one holding `felhom-repo`. **What still stands:** clause (a) — the box can delete its live repository but cannot WRITE into `/.zfs/snapshot` — is unchanged and re-confirmed. **What is now open again:** the only routes to the older copy are a panel rollback of the WHOLE Storage Box (deletes newer snapshots, hits every customer on it) and the provider API (fenced by §11-D, and `hub/internal/hetznerapi/hetznerapi.go` has **no snapshot method at all**, so it needs new code regardless). **NOT ESTABLISHED, and it is the question that decides whether per-file recovery exists for anyone:** whether the MAIN account can see the snapshots.

Tracked by a dated check in the DUE-CHECKS block. **⚠ A TRAP ON THE WAY TO THIS ANSWER, found by the operator 2026-09-01 and armed against in the questions file: HETZNER HAS TWO SIMILARLY-NAMED PRODUCTS WHOSE DOCS SAY OPPOSITE THINGS.** **Storage SHARE** (a managed Nextcloud, NOT us) documents *"Currently, we only support restores for the full backup ZFS snapshot to a specific point in time"* (`docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/faq/backup-snapshot/`). **Storage BOX** (ours) documents the opposite — *"You can download individual files or entire directories as usual"* (`docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/snapshots/`). **A web search for the obvious phrasing surfaces the SHARE page, and it reads like a definitive NO.** Tell them apart by the giveaways: the Share page talks about *Nextcloud's data cache*, a *database dump* and the *konsoleH* interface, and never mentions Storage Box. **Why this is filed and not left as trivia: a support agent could answer Question 1 from the wrong page, and that answer would push this row to the top of the register for no reason.** Question 1 now names the product, quotes the Storage Box line, and says explicitly that we know what the Share FAQ says. **If an answer cites full-snapshot-only, check WHICH PRODUCT it is about before acting on it.** **Nothing in this repository ever leaned on the Share claim** — verified by grep at the time; the only vendor line we cite is the Storage Box one. **RE-DATED 2026-09-15 → 2026-09-22 (due-checks gate):** the operator mailbox read through the Gmail connector (`(from:hetzner OR subject:hetzner OR "Storage Box") after:2026/09/01`) holds no Hetzner reply — one match, our own `offsite_snapshots_dropped` alarm.

 | **R-164** | Backup & restore | P4 | **C2's chain: the DB volume tar cannot be dropped until a SOUND dump predicate exists.** The unit carries both a volume tar and a SQL dump; the restore uses **both** — the dump is authoritative and replayed *after* the tar so it WINS (F17), with only the DB service up (R-47) — `internal/backup/restore_unit.go:262-266`. Dropping the DB container's tar would halve DB-app units **and** close the R-127(b) initdb-skip password trap (restored PGDATA ⇒ `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` ignored). | **BLOCKED** — on the predicate | a dump-validity predicate that is not `accounts has rows` | **The obvious gate is DEAD, measured:** `ValidateDump` warns when the `accounts` table is empty, and that warning was **correct** — the live DB genuinely had 0 accounts, and seeding one stopped the warning and put the row in the dump. But **a fresh appliance legitimately has zero accounts**, so promoting that predicate to a gate would **block every new customer's first backup**. Order: (1) a sound predicate — dump vs **live** per-table counts, not an absolute expectation; (2) warn→gate; (3) tar-drop. **Until (1), the tar is load-bearing** — not because dumps are bad, but because nothing can yet prove one is good.

 | **R-213** | Backup & restore | P4 | **Putting files back in place — the half the recovery screen deliberately does not do.** The screen (R-193, controller v0.200.0) unlocks the repository and LISTS what is in it; restoring is per-app and lives in the backups area, and the operator ruled the two separate on 2026-08-05: *a screen that unlocks and then offers to overwrite is two decisions wearing one button*. What is missing is the step after the listing — a customer who can now SEE their files still has to work out, per app, which restore to choose. **The operator named its requirement: a live-versus-backup comparison** — the customer must be able to see what would change before anything is overwritten | **DEFERRED** — operator ruling 2026-10-12 (S18, `09` §3 decision 213): designed after the first customers.
