# Disaster Recovery Procedures
## Overview
This document outlines procedures for disaster recovery and business continuity for the DBIS Core Lite payment system.
## Recovery Objectives
- **RTO (Recovery Time Objective)**: 4 hours
- **RPO (Recovery Point Objective)**: 1 hour (data loss tolerance)
## Backup Strategy
### Database Backups
**Full Backup:**
- Frequency: Daily at 02:00 UTC
- Retention: 30 days
- Location: Secure backup storage
- Format: Compressed SQL dump
**Transaction Log Backups:**
- Frequency: Every 15 minutes
- Retention: 7 days
- Used for point-in-time recovery
### Audit Log Backups
- Frequency: Daily
- Retention: 10 years (compliance requirement)
- Format: CSV export + database dump
### Configuration Backups
- All configuration files (env, certificates) backed up daily
- Version controlled in secure repository
## Recovery Procedures
### Full System Recovery
1. **Prerequisites:**
- Access to backup storage
- Database server available
- Application server available
2. **Steps:**
```bash
# 1. Restore database
gunzip < backups/dbis_core_YYYYMMDD.sql.gz | psql $DATABASE_URL
# 2. Run migrations
npm run migrate
# 3. Restore configuration
cp backups/.env.production .env
# 4. Restore certificates
cp -r backups/certs/* ./certs/
# 5. Start application
npm start
```
### Point-in-Time Recovery
1. Restore full backup to recovery server
2. Apply transaction logs up to desired point
3. Verify data integrity
4. Switch traffic to recovered system
### Partial Recovery (Single Table)
```sql
-- Restore specific table
pg_restore -t payments -d dbis_core backups/dbis_core_YYYYMMDD.dump
```
## Disaster Scenarios
### Database Server Failure
**Procedure:**
1. Identify failure (health check, monitoring alerts)
2. Activate standby database or restore from backup
3. Update connection strings
4. Restart application
5. Verify operations
### Application Server Failure
**Procedure:**
1. Deploy application to backup server
2. Update load balancer configuration
3. Verify health checks
4. Monitor for issues
### Network Partition
**Procedure:**
1. Identify affected components
2. Route traffic around partition
3. Monitor reconciliation for missed transactions
4. Reconcile when connectivity restored
### Data Corruption
**Procedure:**
1. Identify corrupted data
2. Isolate affected records
3. Restore from backup
4. Replay transactions if needed
5. Verify data integrity
## Testing
### Disaster Recovery Testing
**Schedule:**
- Full DR test: Quarterly
- Partial DR test: Monthly
- Backup restore test: Weekly
**Test Scenarios:**
1. Database server failure
2. Application server failure
3. Network partition
4. Data corruption
5. Complete site failure
## Communication Plan
During disaster:
1. Notify technical team immediately
2. Activate on-call engineer
3. Update status page
4. Communicate with stakeholders
## Post-Recovery
1. Document incident
2. Review recovery time and process
3. Update procedures if needed
4. Conduct post-mortem
5. Implement improvements
