Artifacts: download, check and protect

3 min · Screen: /artifacts · Needs: Permissions.Artifacts.View

Backups › Artifacts lists stored and verified artifacts by default. Filter by plan, server, source type, engine, format or encryption. Chips show Restore proven or Not proven yet, Pinned, Kept until, Immutable until and Legal hold.

  1. Open the artifact’s menu and choose Stored bytes or Decrypted

    • Stored bytes - exactly as in storage, still encrypted.

    • Decrypted - the platform removes its encryption on the way. Needs a second-factor code from the last five minutes.

  2. Give a reason if asked, then Download

    Production artifacts need a reason; the audit log keeps it. The browser gets a short-lived link - the file never passes through the page.

Action Keeps it
Pin… Until somebody unpins it.
Keep until… At least until a date.
Legal hold Until the hold is released. On a bucket with Object Lock the hold is set in storage itself.

Each asks why, and the audit log keeps the answer.

Verified

Stored and read back successfully.

Stored

Uploaded; verification pending.

Expired

Retention let it go; deletion follows after the grace period.

Corrupt or Missing

A check found it changed or gone - investigate and run the plan again.
