Website backup and recovery
Prove a website backup can be used by rehearsing the restore path and checking the recovered site.
When it fits
Use this when a backup schedule already exists but there is no recent evidence that a chosen restore point produces a working website.
What it includes
- Selection of a representative restore point and record of its location and access
- Safe staging restore or provider-assisted recovery rehearsal where available
- Checks of recovered pages, assets, data, forms, and administrative access
- Dated evidence, exact recovery steps, and notes about remaining gaps
How it works
- Agree on the restore scope and a safe non-production environment
- Run the recovery rehearsal without changing the live website
- Record what worked, what failed, and what should be corrected
Expected result
Dated restore evidence and known recovery gaps, without claiming that future incidents will behave the same way.
