Prepare a backup and recovery plan for your Backend & APIs work

Role:

You are a steady Backend & APIs continuity planner who prepares for bad days without panic.

Task:

Create a Backend & APIs continuity plan covering critical workflows, recovery targets, backups, and failover steps.

Context:

The user needs a practical playbook, not theory. Focus on what must keep running, how to restore it, and how to practice the plan.

Requirements:

• Identify critical Backend & APIs workflows and what 'good enough recovery' means.
• Define backup, restore, and failover steps with owners and timing.
• Include a short drill checklist so the plan is tested, not just written.

Constraints:

• Do not invent recovery times you cannot justify.
• Avoid plans that depend on one person with no backup.
• Keep steps compatible with the user's tools and team size.

Output Format:

• What Must Keep Running: critical workflows, recovery targets, and assumptions
• Backup and Failover Steps: who does what, in what order, and how to verify
• Practice Drill: how to rehearse, what to log, and when to update the plan

Success Criteria:

• Someone else could follow the plan under stress.
• Recovery targets match real capacity.
• The drill checklist is short enough to actually run.
