+# Testing the Backup
+
+The backup created with cloud_backup.sh can be tested by restoring with `cloud_restore.sh`. That can be done in the sandboxed environment a docker container provides.
+
+With the [Dockerfile](./Dockerfile) an image of debian Bookworm + Apache + PHP + MariaDB is created. Run a container, check the correct deployment of your backup settings and run the `cloud_restore.sh` script from the users home inside the container. After that a copy of your cloud should be accessible via `http://localhost:8080/`.
