Restore test playbook (quarterly)

Goal: prove backups are usable by performing a restore and minimal API checks.

Canonical reference:

  • ../../restore-test-procedure.md

Procedure (high level)

  1. Follow ../../restore-test-procedure.md.
  2. Record results using the template:
  3. ../../../_templates/restore-test-log-template.md
  4. Store the public-safe log on the VPS:
  5. /srv/healtharchive/ops/restore-tests/

What “done” means

  • A dated restore-test log exists under /srv/healtharchive/ops/restore-tests/.
  • Core API checks against the restored DB succeed (health, stats, sources).
