backup

backup is a skill for Claude Code from arbazkhan971/godmode. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,573 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for protecting data and recovering it after loss, damage, or an outage. It covers backup plans, data integrity, and recovery targets such as RPO (how much recent data may be lost) and RTO (how quickly systems must return).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory important data, choose backup schedules, set recovery targets, verify backups, and write disaster-recovery runbooks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unclear recovery plans and backups that cannot be restored when needed. It also helps document recovery steps for infrastructure and compliance.

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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d ago.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 306 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Backup — Backup & Disaster Recovery

Activate When

  • User invokes /godmode:backup
  • User says "backup strategy," "disaster recovery," "what happens if we lose the database?"
  • User is designing data infrastructure that needs durability guarantees
  • After /godmode:infra provisions stateful services (databases, storage, queues)
  • Incident post-mortem reveals backup or recovery gaps
  • Compliance requirements mandate backup and recovery documentation

Workflow

Step 1: Inventory Data Assets

Identify all data that needs protection:

DATA ASSET INVENTORY:
| Asset | Type | Size | Growth | Critical |

Step 2: Define RPO/RTO Targets

Set recovery objectives for each data tier:

RECOVERY OBJECTIVES:
| Data Tier | RPO | RTO | Justification |

Step 3: Backup Strategy Design

Design backup approach for each data tier:

Tier 1: Continuous Protection
TIER 1 BACKUP STRATEGY:

Primary database:
Tier 2: Periodic Snapshots
TIER 2 BACKUP STRATEGY:

File uploads (S3/GCS):
Tier 3: Daily Backups
TIER 3 BACKUP STRATEGY:

Application logs:

IF backup age >24h: trigger immediate backup. IF restore test fails: alert and re-run.

Step 4: Backup Verification

Automated checks that backups are actually working:

BACKUP VERIFICATION SCHEDULE:
| Check | Frequency | Method | Alert |

### Step 5: Data Integrity Verification
Verify backed-up data is consistent and usable:

DATA INTEGRITY CHECKS:

Check Method Frequency
Row count consistency Compare source vs After each
restored backup restore test
Checksum verification SHA-256 of backup Every backup
file
Foreign key integrity Run FK constraint Weekly
check on restored DB restore
Application smoke test Run app against Monthly

Point-in-time accuracy Restore to specific Quarterly
time, verify records
Cross-region consistency Compare checksums Weekly

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.
