Ethernity Wiki

This wiki is the operator guide. Use it when you want to run the tool, choose a workflow, or debug a problem without reading the full format spec first.

Start Here

If you are new, use these pages in order:

1. Getting Started for one successful backup and restore drill
2. Backup Workflow to choose a sensible custody and sharding model
3. Extension Workflow to manage changing data over time
4. Recovery Workflow to recover from scans, payload files, or fallback text
5. Troubleshooting when anything behaves unexpectedly

Most Common Tasks

• First run: Getting Started
• Choose backup mode: Backup Workflow
• Manage changes over time: Extension Workflow
• Copy and paste commands: Command Cheatsheet
• Recover during an incident: Recovery Incident Runbook
• Verify downloaded binaries: Release Artifacts
• Understand trust guarantees: Security and Trust Model

Quick Safety Rules

• Run a real recovery drill before trusting a procedure.
• Keep one backup set per recovery attempt.
• Keep main docs, recovery docs, and shard docs in separate custody paths.
• Keep an independent non-Ethernity backup path.
• Prefer offline recovery environments when practical.
