WhatA standalone agent that continuously monitors what your backup provider is actually protecting, alerts on exclusion changes, and verifies restore integrity — a 'backup for your backup' watchdog.
SignalMultiple users express that the core failure is not knowing what isn't being backed up — backup GUIs can lie, exclusion lists change silently, and even technical users get burned by gaps they never noticed until it was too late.
Why NowBackup providers are increasingly making silent policy changes to manage costs on unlimited plans, while users store more critical data than ever across cloud-synced folders, git repos, and local drives.
MarketProsumers and SMBs using any backup service — cross-sells to the entire backup market. No one offers independent backup verification as a product. Could charge $3-5/mo per machine.
MoatDeep integration knowledge across backup providers' actual behavior (exclusion lists, silent changes, edge cases) creates an expertise moat that's hard to replicate quickly.
