recoverto
recoverto is a protocol and software framework designed to manage state recovery in distributed systems and data-intensive applications. It provides means to restore an environment to a known good state after a failure, intrusion, or user action, while preserving data integrity and auditability. The project emphasizes user-controlled recovery, operational safety, and interoperability across platforms.
Core concepts include recovery tokens, versioned snapshots, and an orchestration service. A recovery token encodes authorization
Operations include rollback to a previous checkpoint, roll-forward to a later state after verification, tamper-evident logs,
Use cases include database point-in-time recovery, cloud storage restoration, device state restoration after power loss, and
Implementation is available as an open-source library in several languages, with a pluggable storage layer and
History and status: the project emerged from a collaborative community effort and aims to standardize recovery
