## Helper prerequisites
This bundled skill supplies methodology text; it does not install the local helper files invoked below. Before running a command using `agent.py` or a `scripts/` path, create that file from a complete implementation when one is supplied, or obtain and review the matching upstream helper. Check its `--help` and dependencies against the shown arguments. If no implementation is available, the invocation is a workflow illustration rather than a runnable command; use the documented underlying tools instead.
# Validating Backup Integrity for Recovery
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Verifying backup integrity before relying on backups for ransomware recovery
- Building automated backup validation pipelines that run after each backup job
- Auditing backup infrastructure to confirm recoverability for compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF RC.RP-03)
- Detecting silent data corruption (bit rot) in backup storage before a disaster occurs
- Validating that immutable or air-gapped backups have not been tampered with
