backup-and-disaster-recovery is a skill for Claude Code from rampstackco/claude-skills. It costs 113 tokens per session (2,406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan for protecting systems and restoring them after data loss, outages, corruption, ransomware, or other disasters. It covers backups, recovery targets, and practice restoration exercises.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design backup coverage, set recovery point objectives (acceptable data loss) and recovery time objectives (acceptable downtime), investigate gaps, and run recovery drills.
Why use it?
It helps teams know what is protected, how much data they might lose, and how long systems could remain unavailable.

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-and-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 11d 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.

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

Plan for the worst case: the database is gone, the host is down for a week, the deploy was poisoned, ransomware encrypted everything. The skill is in advance preparation, not reaction.


When to use

  • Setting up backups for a new system
  • Reviewing and validating backup architecture
  • Defining RPO (recovery point objective) and RTO (recovery time objective)
  • Running a disaster recovery drill
  • Diagnosing gaps after an incident
  • Planning for ransomware, data corruption, or insider threats
  • Migrating to a new platform (DR planning belongs in the migration plan)

When NOT to use

  • Active incident response (use incident-response)
  • Routine deploy rollbacks (use launch-runbook)
  • Code or content versioning (covered by Git, CMS revision history)
  • Routine database snapshots (use this skill to set them up; routine review goes in monitoring)

Required inputs

  • The systems in scope (databases, file storage, code, configs, secrets)
  • The hosting platforms and providers
  • Existing backup tooling and what it covers
  • Tolerance for data loss (in time)
  • Tolerance for downtime (in time)
  • Compliance requirements (some regulations mandate specific backup standards)

The framework: 4 questions

Every disaster recovery plan answers four questions explicitly.

Question 1: What needs to be recoverable?

List every system that holds state. Categorize by criticality.

Tier 1: must recover. Without it, the business stops. (Customer database, transaction log, primary content store.)

Tier 2: should recover. Loss is painful but not fatal. (Analytics, logs, secondary services.)

Tier 3: nice to recover. Easy to rebuild. (Caches, derived data, temporary state.)

The tier drives RPO, RTO, backup frequency, and storage spend.

Question 2: How much data loss is acceptable? (RPO)

RPO is the maximum age of data that's acceptable to lose, measured in time.

  • RPO = 1 hour: hourly backups or continuous replication needed
  • RPO = 1 day: daily backups acceptable
  • RPO = 1 week: weekly backups acceptable

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.
