# Backup Doctrine
|
|
|
|
## Principles
|
|
|
|
- Backups exist for **calm recovery**, not comfort.
|
|
- Encrypt backups **before** they leave the system.
|
|
- A backup that cannot be safely lost is incorrectly scoped.
|
|
- Restores are verified: a backup without a restore test is a hope, not a backup.
|
|
|
|
## In-repo boundaries
|
|
|
|
- What is backed up, where it is stored, and how it is restored is recorded in `60-backups/manifests/`.
|
|
- Proof that restores work (restore drills, checksums, validation notes) lives in `60-backups/restore-tests/`.
|
|
|
|
## Minimum standard
|
|
|
|
For each backup set, record:
|
|
|
|
- Source (what)
|
|
- Destination (where)
|
|
- Method (how)
|
|
- Frequency (when)
|
|
- Restore procedure (how to get it back)
|
|
- Validation (how you know it worked)
|
