Disaster Recovery

Purpose

Provide comprehensive guidance for designing disaster recovery (DR) strategies, implementing backup systems, and validating recovery procedures across databases, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud infrastructure. Enable teams to define RTO/RPO objectives, select appropriate backup tools, configure automated failover, and test DR capabilities through chaos engineering.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

• Defining recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO)
• Implementing database backups with point-in-time recovery (PITR)
• Setting up Kubernetes cluster backup and restore workflows
• Configuring cross-region replication for high availability
• Testing disaster recovery procedures through chaos experiments
• Meeting compliance requirements (GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA)
• Automating backup monitoring and alerting
• Designing multi-cloud disaster recovery architectures
