No, I mean it it would be great if we did not need to materialise whole DB anywhere. Let's say I have a backup of 10Tb cluster in S3. And don't have that clusters hardware anymore. I want to spawn tiny VM with few GiBs of RAM and storage no larger than biggest index within DB + WAL from start to end. And stream-check all backup, mark it safe and sleep well. It would be perfect if we could do backup verification at cost of corruption monitoring (and not vice versa, which is trivial).

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
