Order the complete backup and recovery path

Arrange the chapter's complete resilience workflow.

Recovery readiness

A backup is useful only when it is protected and can be restored

  1. PrioritizeCritical data, services, owners, dependencies
  2. ProtectSeparated copies and limited deletion rights
  3. MonitorCoverage, failures, age, and access
  4. TestRestore against defined recovery targets
  5. RespondStop and preserve during an incident
  6. RecoverRestore clean services by authorized priority

Business priorities guide coverage; separation, least privilege, monitoring, and restore tests create evidence that recovery can work.

Arrange in the correct order
  1. 1. Restore clean services by authorized priority and verify operation
  2. 2. Stop, contain as authorized, report, and preserve during an incident
  3. 3. Review backup status, access, failures, and test evidence
  4. 4. Run scheduled restoration tests against recovery targets
  5. 5. Create approved protected and separated backup coverage
  6. 6. Identify critical data, services, owners, and dependencies
