across CIFS, NFS, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob, Wasabi, Backblaze, and
other S3-compatible storage.
● Test full, incremental, synthetic backup, and federated repository workflows,
identifying functional and regression issues before release.
● Investigate complex defects across application, operating system, virtualization,
storage, and repository layers using product logs, support bundles, system
behavior, and test results to narrow failure conditions and provide actionable
technical evidence.
● Verify fixes across multiple builds, platforms, and configurations, confirming that
reported defects are resolved and checking related scenarios for regressions.
● Prepare and troubleshoot Windows/Linux test environments, virtualization
