Use Kopia when an agent is asked to run an auditable backup or restore workflow for important directories: initialize or connect to a repository, create encrypted snapshots, verify repository health, list snapshots, and restore selected paths. Invoke it instead of using the GUI or ad hoc copy commands when the operator needs repeatable CLI-driven backup, verification, or recovery steps across local, network, or cloud storage. The scope boundary is Kopia’s backup/restore lifecycle for file trees and repositories; this is not a generic cloud storage product, storage SDK, or whole-machine imaging listing.
