database-backup-restore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 31 tokens per session (509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to backing up databases and restoring them after data loss or a failure. It covers backup plans, retention, restore testing, point-in-time recovery, and recovery targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate database backups, define retention policies, test recovery procedures, support point-in-time recovery, and plan disaster recovery.
Why use it?
It helps recover important data after hardware failures, mistakes, or other incidents. Testing restores shows whether backups can actually be used when needed.

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

database-backup-restore 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.

Database Backup & Restore

Table of Contents

Overview

Implement comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies. Covers backup types, retention policies, restore testing, and recovery time objectives (RTO/RPO).

When to Use

  • Backup automation setup
  • Disaster recovery planning
  • Recovery testing procedures
  • Backup retention policies
  • Point-in-time recovery (PITR)
  • Cross-region backup replication
  • Compliance and audit requirements

Quick Start

pg_dump - Text Format:

# Simple full backup
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres -F p database_name > backup.sql

# With compression
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres -F p database_name | gzip > backup.sql.gz

# Backup with verbose output
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres -F p -v database_name > backup.sql 2>&1

# Exclude specific tables
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres database_name \
  --exclude-table=temp_* --exclude-table=logs > backup.sql

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Follow established patterns and conventions
  • Write clean, maintainable code
  • Add appropriate documentation
  • Test thoroughly before deploying

What ships with it

8 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.
