Product scope
Does MindShield replace a disaster recovery plan?
No. MindShield supports backup visibility, policy operation and recovery-readiness evidence. Organizations still need approved recovery objectives, responsibilities, infrastructure and testing.
Can the current SQL Agent protect every database platform?
The current public pilot documentation focuses on Microsoft SQL Server. Product scope may expand by release.
Backups
Does a successful backup guarantee restoration?
No single status guarantees every recovery scenario. Verification and controlled restore exercises provide additional evidence.
Verification and recovery readiness
Automated verification is one layer of evidence. Retention, isolated restoration, application testing and incident-specific decisions remain necessary.
Downloads and specialist support
Where can I download the installer?
The current pilot installer is distributed through controlled MindShield support or authorized partner channels rather than an unrestricted public download.
When should Mind Merge Data Recovery Services be involved?
Consider specialist recovery when media is physically damaged, source data is severely corrupted, ransomware has affected available copies or routine restoration could endanger the only remaining evidence.
