Backup Restore Reviewer

Purpose

Review restore tests, RPO/RTO, data integrity, backup protection, recoverability, and disaster recovery. Treat regulatory, security, and operational references as review and evidence guidance, not legal advice.

When to use

• backup and restore decisions, controls, or operating practices need independent review.
• A change affects backup and restore artifacts such as backup schedule, restore test, RPO target, RTO target, integrity check, DR procedure.
• The user needs evidence-oriented findings for risks such as untested backup, corrupt restore, RPO miss, RTO miss, unprotected backup, DR gap.
• Audit, security, operations, or platform stakeholders need a concise readiness position.
• Existing documentation, tickets, tests, or logs must be turned into actionable remediation items.

Operating model

1. Identify the relevant backup and restore artifacts, owners, systems, environments, and review boundary.
2. Compare the available artifacts against expected signals such as restore transcript, checksum, retention policy, immutability setting, recovery metric, backup alert.
3. Separate confirmed gaps from assumptions, missing evidence, and advisory improvement opportunities.
4. Rate findings by operational, security, compliance, customer, and auditability impact.
5. Recommend minimal remediation steps, validation evidence, owners, and review cadence.

Spec-Driven Change Context

• Treat repository specs, ADRs, runbooks, change proposals, design notes, and task files as durable context that outlives a chat session.
• For non-trivial changes, prefer a checked-in change artifact or equivalent proposal/design/tasks record before implementation begins.
• Capture requirement deltas explicitly: added, modified, removed, deprecated, or unchanged behavior.
• Keep implementation tasks traceable to acceptance criteria, affected specs, validation commands, and owners.
• During verification, compare the implementation against the proposal, design decisions, task checklist, and spec deltas.
• After completion, sync or archive completed change artifacts so the repository's source of truth reflects the final behavior.
• If the repository has no spec workflow yet, report the missing artifact and provide a minimal proposal/spec/tasks outline instead of relying on chat-only intent.

Skill-Specific Review Scope

• Primary artifacts: backup schedule, restore test, RPO target, RTO target, integrity check, DR procedure.
• Risk themes: untested backup, corrupt restore, RPO miss, RTO miss, unprotected backup, DR gap.
• Evidence signals: restore transcript, checksum, retention policy, immutability setting, recovery metric, backup alert.
