What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of preventing data loss and minimizing downtime by designing comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies that meet business RTO and RPO requirements while balancing cost and compliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Backup Strategy Design: Identify critical systems, choose backup types (full, incremental, differential), and define schedules to meet RTO/RPO goals.
• Retention and Archival Policies: Create tiered retention rules, 3-2-1 recommendations, and archival plans for compliance and cost control.
• Implementation Guidance and Scripts: Provide configuration steps, sample backup scripts, and automation patterns for database and file backups.
• Verification and Testing: Define backup verification processes, regular recovery tests, and runbooks for failover and failback scenarios.
• Use Case: Produce a production-ready backup and DR plan for a PostgreSQL database with WAL archiving, automated daily backups, monthly snapshots, retention retention rules, and recovery runbooks.

Quick Start

Create a backup and disaster recovery plan for a PostgreSQL database with RPO of 1 hour, RTO of 4 hours, daily retention for 30 days and monthly retention for 12 months.
