2. Verify backup executor configuration
3. Test with small transaction
4. Switch traffic gradually

State Recovery

From Snapshots

1. Load state snapshot
2. Verify snapshot integrity
3. Restore state
4. Verify system functionality

From Logs

3. Verify consistency
4. Resume operations

Data Recovery

Transaction History

1. Export transaction logs
2. Parse and index
3. Rebuild database
4. Verify completeness

Configuration Recovery

Testing Recovery

Regular Testing

1. Monthly: Test backup executor
2. Quarterly: Test state recovery

Test Procedures

1. Simulate failure
2. Execute recovery
3. Verify functionality
4. Document results
5. Improve procedures
