## 🎯 Backup Strategy Overview

### What Gets Backed Up

**Critical (Daily Full Backup):**
- Source code (`src/`)
- Public assets (`public/`)
- Content files (`src/content/`)
- All config files (`.config.mjs`, `.config.ts`)
- Dependencies (`package.json`, `package-lock.json`)
- Environment files (`.env`, `.env.example`)
- Middleware and content config

**Excluded (Not Backed Up):**
- `node_modules/` - Reinstallable via npm
- `dist/` - Build artifacts (regenerated)
- `.astro/` - Temporary build cache
- `test-results/` - Test outputs
- `.git/` - Version control handles this
- `backups/` - No recursive backups

### Retention Policy

| Backup Type | Frequency | Retention | Max Count |
|-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| **Daily** | 2:00 AM | 7 days | 7 backups |
| **Weekly** | Sunday | 4 weeks | 4 backups |
| **Monthly** | 1st of month | 3 months | 3 backups |
| **Incremental** | Every 6h | 72 hours | ~12 backups |
| **Pre-deploy** | On deployment | Last 10 | 10 backups |
| **Safety** | Before restore | 30 days | Variable |

### Storage Requirements

- **Daily:** ~50-100 MB per backup = ~700 MB
- **Weekly:** ~100 MB × 4 = ~400 MB
- **Monthly:** ~100 MB × 3 = ~300 MB
- **Incremental:** ~20 MB × 12 = ~240 MB
- **Pre-deploy:** ~64 KB × 10 = ~640 KB
- **Total estimated:** ~1.6 GB

## 🚀 How to Use

### Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Initial setup (one-time)
bash scripts/backup/setup.sh

# 2. Create first full backup
npm run backup:full

# 3. Verify it worked
npm run backup:verify

# 4. Set up automation (see below)
```

### Daily Operations

```bash
# Manual backups
npm run backup:full          # Full backup
npm run backup:content       # Content only (fast)
npm run backup:config        # Config only

# Monitoring
npm run backup:verify        # Health check
npm run backup:list          # List all backups

# Recovery
npm run backup:restore       # Interactive restore
```

### Setting Up Automation

**Linux/macOS (cron):**
```bash
crontab -e
# Copy templates from scripts/backup/cron.example
```

**Windows (Task Scheduler):**
```powershell
# Run as Administrator
.\scripts\backup\windows-tasks.ps1
```

---

## 🔐 Security Considerations

### Environment Variables
- `.env` files are backed up for disaster recovery
- Backups stored locally (not in git)
- **Recommendation:** Encrypt backups if storing off-site
  ```bash
  gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 backup.tar.gz
  ```

### Access Control
- Backup directory excluded from git (`.gitignore`)
- Restrict access to backups directory (DevOps only)
- Use secure channels for off-site storage (SFTP, S3 with encryption)

### Backup Integrity
- Every backup is verified after creation (`tar -tzf`)
- Automated verification runs daily at 9:00 AM
- Corrupted backups trigger alerts

---

## 🔄 Automated Schedule

| Time | Task | Script | Frequency |
|------|------|--------|-----------|
| **2:00 AM** | Full backup | `backup-full.sh` | Daily |
| **Every 6h** | Content backup | `backup-content.sh` | 4× daily |
| **3:00 AM Sun** | Cleanup | `cleanup-old.sh` | Weekly |
| **9:00 AM** | Verify health | `verify.sh` | Daily |
| **On deploy** | Config backup | `backup-config.sh` | As needed |

---

## 📋 Pre-Deployment Integration

The backup system integrates with deployment:

```bash
# Automatic config backup before deployment
npm run deploy  # Includes backup:config

# Manual pre-deployment backup
npm run backup:config
```

**Always backed up before deployment:**
- Environment variables
- Configuration files
- Middleware settings
- Content config schema

---

## 🆘 Recovery Procedures

### Full System Restore

```bash
# 1. List available backups
npm run backup:list

# 2. Choose backup and restore
npm run backup:restore backups/daily/full-backup-2026-03-21.tar.gz

# 3. Reinstall dependencies
npm install

# 4. Rebuild
npm run build

# 5. Test
npm run test

# 6. Verify content
npm run dev
```

### Partial Restore (Content Only)

```bash
# Extract content from backup
tar -xzf backups/daily/latest-full.tar.gz src/content/

# Verify changes
git status

# Test build
npm run build
```

### Config Rollback

```bash
# Restore from pre-deployment backup
npm run backup:restore backups/pre-deploy/latest-config.tar.gz

# Restart service
npm run start:prod
```

## 📊 Monitoring & Alerts

### Health Checks

Daily verification at 9:00 AM checks:
- ✅ Latest backup age (<24 hours)
- ✅ Backup integrity (not corrupted)
- ✅ Disk space availability
- ✅ Storage usage (<5GB)

### Alert Thresholds

| Condition | Severity | Action |
|-----------|----------|--------|
| Latest backup >24h | ⚠️ Warning | Check cron/tasks |
| Latest backup >48h | 🚨 Critical | Manual backup now |
| Corrupted backup | 🚨 Critical | Re-run backup |
| Storage >80% disk | ⚠️ Warning | Run cleanup |
| Storage >5GB total | ⚠️ Warning | Review retention |

## 🧰 Maintenance Tasks

### Weekly
- [ ] Review backup logs: `tail -100 backups/backup.log`
- [ ] Check storage usage: `du -sh backups/`
- [ ] Verify latest backup: `npm run backup:verify`

### Monthly
- [ ] **Test restore procedure** (CRITICAL)
- [ ] Review retention policy
- [ ] Clean up safety backups: `npm run backup:cleanup`
- [ ] Update documentation if needed

### Quarterly
- [ ] Review automation schedule
- [ ] Test restoration on clean environment
- [ ] Update backup strategy if architecture changes
- [ ] Review off-site backup strategy

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**1. Backup script fails**
```bash
# Check disk space
df -h

# Check permissions
ls -la backups/

# Make scripts executable
chmod +x scripts/backup/*.sh
```

**2. Restore fails**
```bash
# Verify backup integrity
npm run backup:verify backup-file.tar.gz

# Check contents
tar -tzf backup-file.tar.gz
```

**3. Cron jobs not running**
```bash
# Check cron service
systemctl status cron

# View cron logs
grep CRON /var/log/syslog

# Verify crontab
crontab -l
```

**4. Windows tasks not running**
```powershell
# List scheduled tasks
Get-ScheduledTask | Where-Object {$_.TaskName -like 'WorkRoot-*'}

# View task history
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "WorkRoot-DailyBackup" | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo
```
