  2. 2

    Verify Redundancy

    Confirm each card lands on two separate drives before wiping.

  3. 3

    Checklist the Wrap

    Add a wrap check that no card is cleared until double-backed-up.

  4. 4

    Flag the Unverified

    Block the leave-set confirmation if any card lacks its second copy.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow with a test offload. Confirm the verification gate holds.
