What is backup-restore-drill?

A database recovery drill that restores a real nightly PostgreSQL backup into a temporary pgvector container, checks it against the production database, records the result and timing, and removes the temporary setup.

Use it to test production Postgres backups, practise recovery, and answer whether the team could restore the database after a failure.

It tests whether backups can actually be restored instead of assuming that a successful backup file is usable. The drill provides evidence about recovery correctness and duration without leaving the test database running.

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	$0.00039	$0.02225
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00890

Security

Grade C, and why

backup-restore-drill scanned grade C 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 28d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

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.
