What is backup-disaster-recovery?

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.

Use it to design backups, point-in-time restoration, cross-region failover, data migration, compliance procedures, and recovery plans for infrastructure and databases.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00025	$0.00589
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00236
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00118
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00059

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 2mo 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.

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)

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 ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
