disaster-recovery-plan

disaster-recovery-plan is a skill for Claude Code from sethdford/claude-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (654 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for recovering systems after failures such as outages or lost infrastructure. It covers backups, failover, recovery targets, and practice exercises.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define recovery time and data-loss targets, design backup and failover procedures, and plan regular recovery tests.
Why use it?
It turns emergency recovery into a documented and tested process, clarifying how much downtime and data loss the business can accept.

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

disaster-recovery-plan 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 12d 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.

Disaster Recovery Plan

Design recovery strategies with defined objectives, tested procedures, and regular validation.

Context

You are planning disaster recovery. Define RTO/RPO requirements, design backup and failover strategies, plan testing. Read business impact analysis, current backups, and regulatory requirements.

Domain Context

Based on IT disaster recovery best practices (NIST, ISO 27031):

  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective): How long can system be down? 1 hour? 1 day? Determines failover strategy.
  • RPO (Recovery Point Objective): How much data loss acceptable? 1 hour? 1 day? Determines backup frequency.
  • Backup Strategies: Full (complete copy), incremental (only changes since last backup), continuous replication
  • Failover: Automatic (heartbeat-driven) vs manual (operations-triggered). Planned vs unplanned.
  • Testing: Regular drills validate procedures; practice before disaster strikes

Instructions

  1. Define Business Requirements: For each critical system, what's RTO (max downtime) and RPO (max data loss)? Business impact: lost revenue, SLA violations, customer trust?

  2. Design Backup Strategy: Full daily backup + hourly incremental. Or continuous replication for stricter RPO. Test recovery from backups monthly; document recovery steps.

  3. Plan Failover: For RTO < 1 hour, set up active-passive (standby system). For RTO < 5 minutes, active-active (both systems live). Implement health checks and automatic failover.

  4. Document Procedures: Who decides to failover? What are manual steps? How do you know failover succeeded? Test documentation with dry runs; update after each test.

  5. Schedule Regular Testing: Monthly failover drills for critical systems. Test both planned (maintenance window) and unplanned (kill production server) scenarios. Document findings and improvements.

Anti-Patterns

  • RTO/RPO Undefined: Assume everything needs sub-minute RTO. Result: over-engineering cost. Guard: Quantify business impact; set RTO/RPO accordingly per system.
  • Backups Never Tested: Assume they work. Result: discover failures during actual disaster. Guard: Regular restore drills; track recovery metrics.
  • Manual Failover for Low RTO: Plan manual process for 5-minute RTO. Result: missed SLA. Guard: Automate failover if RTO tight; test automation regularly.
  • Ignoring Data Consistency in Failover: Assume data identical between systems. Result: data loss or corruption. Guard: Validate data integrity post-failover; have reconciliation procedure.

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.
