DB Backup Recovery

Overview

Use this skill to define backup and restore behavior that is credible under incident pressure, not only compliant on paper.

Scope Boundaries

• Data loss tolerance and recovery time objectives must be formalized.
• Backup policy is changing due to scale, compliance, or architecture change.
• Teams need confidence that restore procedures actually work.

Core Judgments

• RPO/RTO targets per data class and business workflow.
• Backup modality: full, incremental, log-based, snapshot, or hybrid.
• Retention and immutability policy by legal and business requirements.
• Restore topology: point-in-time restore, region restore, partial table restore.
