Design recovery strategies with defined objectives, tested procedures, and regular validation.
Design recovery strategies with defined objectives, tested procedures, and regular validation.
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.
Based on IT disaster recovery best practices (NIST, ISO 27031):
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?
Design Backup Strategy: Full daily backup + hourly incremental. Or continuous replication for stricter RPO. Test recovery from backups monthly; document recovery steps.
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.
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.
Schedule Regular Testing: Monthly failover drills for critical systems. Test both planned (maintenance window) and unplanned (kill production server) scenarios. Document findings and improvements.
npx claudepluginhub sethdford/claude-skills --plugin architect-infrastructure-designDesigns cloud disaster recovery plans with RTO/RPO tiers, backup architecture, IaC, and communication procedures based on AWS, NIST, and ISO standards.
Defines RPO/RTO targets, designs backup architecture, and guides disaster recovery drills for full-region or platform outages. Also handles ransomware planning and post-incident restoration gap analysis.
Produces a complete disaster recovery plan with RPO/RTO targets, per-scenario runbooks, backup procedures, testing cadence, and communication templates for a service or system.
