backup-disaster-recovery

backup-disaster-recovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 25 tokens per session (589 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for protecting data with backups and recovering it after failures. Disaster recovery is the planning and procedures used to restore systems and data when infrastructure or other serious problems occur.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design backups, point-in-time restoration, cross-region failover, data migration, compliance procedures, and recovery plans for infrastructure and databases.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of permanent data loss and prolonged downtime. It also helps plan how much data and service availability can be recovered after an incident.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

backup-disaster-recovery scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-schema.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Table of Contents

Overview

Design and implement comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies to ensure data protection, business continuity, and rapid recovery from infrastructure failures.

When to Use

  • Data protection and compliance
  • Business continuity planning
  • Disaster recovery planning
  • Point-in-time recovery
  • Cross-region failover
  • Data migration
  • Compliance and audit requirements
  • Recovery time objective (RTO) optimization

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# postgres-backup-cronjob.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: backup-script
  namespace: databases
data:
  backup.sh: |
    #!/bin/bash
    set -euo pipefail

    BACKUP_DIR="/backups/postgresql"
    RETENTION_DAYS=30
    DB_HOST="${POSTGRES_HOST}"
    DB_PORT="${POSTGRES_PORT:-5432}"
    DB_USER="${POSTGRES_USER}"
    DB_PASSWORD="${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}"

    export PGPASSWORD="$DB_PASSWORD"

    # Create backup directory
    mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"

    # Full backup
    BACKUP_FILE="$BACKUP_DIR/full-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).sql"
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Cross-Region Failover Cross-Region Failover

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Perform regular backup testing
  • Use multiple backup locations
  • Implement automated backups
  • Document recovery procedures
  • Test failover procedures regularly
  • Monitor backup completion
  • Use immutable backups
  • Encrypt backups at rest and in transit

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
