DR

Disaster Recovery

A set of plans, procedures, and resources designed to restore a system after a major failure, such as server loss, data corruption, deployment error, or security incident.

Why it matters

This is the plan for the worst-case scenario: a burned-out server, encrypted data, or a wiped database. A well-rehearsed recovery plan turns a catastrophe into downtime measured in hours.

What's missing without it

Without a plan, failure means improvisation: searching for passwords, guessing step order, and discovering the backup doesn’t work — all at once, under pressure.

When it is used

Planned in advance and tested regularly; activated during major infrastructure or data failures.

How we use it

The DR plan describes restoring the database, files, secrets, and containers on a backup server.
