Backups

Preserved copies or recovery information used to restore state after loss or damage. Source code, database records and uploaded files may need different backup methods. A recovery plan also specifies what to restore and how to verify it.

You might see: backup, recovery copy, data backup

In a real project

The workshop keeps recoverable database data and image files. It tests restoration in an isolated destination and checks that bookings still refer to the correct photos and sessions.

A common mistake

Assuming an export file proves recovery will work. Test restoration, preserve required configuration and decide how much recent data loss the product can tolerate.
