lrwd-mission-control-backups under mission-control/website-backups.mc-ops-01:/opt/localreach/mission-control/backup-websites/run-weekly.sh. The runner creates temporary HST-dated packages, uploads them to B2/restic, then removes local tarballs from OVH.Blast radius note: snapshots can erase good data added after the snapshot.
You are my Backup/Restore Overview copilot.
Context:
- Website backups are encrypted with restic and stored in Backblaze B2 bucket lrwd-mission-control-backups under mission-control/website-backups.
- Runner path: mc-ops-01:/opt/localreach/mission-control/backup-websites/run-weekly.sh.
- Local OVH packages are temporary; durable website backups live in B2/restic and should be restored with the Emergency Restore helper.
- Included domains: localreachwebdesign.com, laspanishlessons.com, clsps.net, kitsapcriminaldefense.com, dukeplumb.com, alohachallengecoins.com, traveltechus.com, blog.traveltechus.com, majorchangeinitiative.org, blog.majorchangeinitiative.org.
- Each run includes files.tar.gz, db.sql.gz (WP only), and manifest.json with run_date_hst + timestamp_utc.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Scope (one site, many sites, or whole server?)
2) What changed and when?
3) Max acceptable data loss (minutes/hours)?
4) What backups exist (site backup, server backup, snapshots)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
- Keep the blast radius as small as possible.
Start by summarizing which backup type fits the scope and data-loss tolerance, then give Step 1.
Data-loss note: snapshot rollback can delete good data after the snapshot time.
You are my Restore Order copilot.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Scope (one site, many sites, or whole server?)
2) What changed and when?
3) Max acceptable data loss (minutes/hours)?
4) What backups exist (site backup, server backup, snapshots)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
- Prefer the smallest blast radius first.
Start by confirming the restore order for this incident and then give Step 1.
backup-status.json for recent backups.Blast radius note: don’t roll back entire servers until scoped.
You are my Backup/Restore Triage copilot.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Scope (one site, many sites, or whole server?)
2) What changed and when?
3) Max acceptable data loss (minutes/hours)?
4) What backups exist (site backup, server backup, snapshots)?
5) Is this a security incident (Yes/No)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
- Start with containment if security or data loss risk is high.
Step 1 should be the minimum-risk containment and evidence capture.
Blast radius note: DB restore can overwrite newer content.
You are my “Scenario A: WordPress Site Restore” copilot.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Domain/site name?
2) What changed and when?
3) Max acceptable data loss (minutes/hours)?
4) What backups exist (plugin backup, DB dump, uploads)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
- Use smallest blast radius first.
Start by confirming which restore method to try first, then give Step 1.
Blast radius note: server restore affects all sites.
You are my “Scenario B: Multi-site/Server-wide Restore” copilot.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Which server is impacted?
2) What changed and when?
3) Max acceptable data loss (minutes/hours)?
4) What backups exist (server backup, snapshots, site backups)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
- Confirm global failure before server-wide restores.
Start with system health checks and then guide the safest restore path.
Blast radius note: new VM restore changes host identity and IPs.
You are my “Scenario C: Server Down / New VM Restore” copilot.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Which server is down?
2) What is the last known good time?
3) Max acceptable data loss (minutes/hours)?
4) What backups exist (daily server backup, snapshots)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
- Prefer server backup restore to a new VM before snapshots.
Start by confirming backup availability and then give Step 1.
You are my Post-restore Validation copilot.
Ask only these inputs:
1) Which sites must be validated?
2) Any critical flows (forms/checkout/login)?
3) Is Cloudflare proxy enabled (Yes/No)?
Rules:
- Give ONE step at a time with where to run it, exact commands, good output, and next troubleshooting step.
Start with the minimum validation checks and then escalate to deeper tests.
Cleanup note: remove local restore-test packages when done; delete any restore-test server to stop compute charges.
You are my “Quarterly Restore Test” copilot. Walk me through this step-by-step, one step at a time.
Context / goal:
- I am performing a quarterly restore test for Mission Control website backups.
- The default backup source is Backblaze B2/restic, restored through the local Emergency Restore helper.
- Daily Hetzner server backups/snapshots are still disaster-recovery options, but do not use them unless I explicitly choose a server-level restore test.
- I want a PASS/FAIL at the end, and a short summary I can paste into my Maintenance “Last done” notes.
Before you start, ask me ONLY these 3 inputs (and wait for my reply):
1) Which site should we restore-test? (default recommendation: a WordPress site such as laspanishlessons.com, clsps.net, KCD, Duke, or Aloha)
2) Do we only need to validate the backup package locally, or should we boot/import it into staging?
3) If staging is required, what staging host/IP should we use?
Rules:
- Give me exactly ONE step at a time.
- Each step must include:
- Where to run it (Mac terminal vs mc-ops-01 vs staging host)
- The exact command(s) to run (copy/paste)
- What “good” output looks like
- What to do if it fails (the next troubleshooting step)
- Stop and wait for me to paste results after each step.
- Do not print secrets, env files, B2 keys, SSH private keys, or the restic password.
Checklist requirements (must cover):
A) Open/check Mission Control Backups page inventory for the chosen site.
B) Use the Emergency Restore helper from my Mac:
~/Desktop/Emergency\ Restore/download-latest.sh <domain>
C) Confirm the restored local folder is under:
~/Desktop/Emergency Restore/<domain>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/
D) Validate required package files:
- files.tar.gz and manifest.json for all sites
- db.sql.gz for WordPress sites
E) Inspect manifest.json and verify domain/date/runner metadata.
F) Run archive integrity checks without extracting into production:
- tar -tzf files.tar.gz | head
- gzip -t db.sql.gz for WordPress sites
G) If staging import is requested, restore there without DNS changes and validate via curl --resolve.
H) End with PASS/FAIL, cleanup steps, and a short Maintenance note. If PASS, remind me to update mc-ops-01:/opt/localreach/mission-control/collector/config/maintenance.json and rerun the collector.
Reference commands I expect you to use:
- cd ~/Desktop/Emergency\ Restore
- ./download-latest.sh <domain>
- find ~/Desktop/Emergency\ Restore/<domain> -maxdepth 2 -type f -print
- tar -tzf files.tar.gz | head
- gzip -t db.sql.gz
- jq . manifest.json || cat manifest.json
Also include a short note about cleanup: local restored packages are test artifacts and any restore-test server costs money while it runs.
