recovery▌

Design and implement comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies to ensure data protection, business continuity, and rapid recovery from infrastructure failures.

Executes structured recovery from a ransomware incident following NIST and CISA frameworks, including environment isolation, forensic evidence preservation, clean infrastructure rebuild, prioritized system restoration from verified backups, credential reset, and validation against re-infection. Covers Active Directory recovery, database restoration, and application stack rebuild in dependency order. Activates for requests involving ransomware recovery, post-encryption restoration, or disaster recovery from ransomware.

Implements immutable backup strategy using restic with S3-compatible storage and object lock for ransomware-resistant data protection. Automates backup creation, integrity verification via restic check --read-data, snapshot retention policy enforcement, and restore testing. Integrates with AWS S3 Object Lock, MinIO, and Backblaze B2 for WORM (Write Once Read Many) storage that prevents backup deletion or encryption by ransomware actors.

Designs and implements a ransomware-resilient backup strategy following the 3-2-1-1-0 methodology (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite, 1 immutable/air-gapped, 0 errors on restore verification). Configures backup schedules aligned to RPO/RTO requirements, implements backup credential isolation to prevent ransomware from compromising backup infrastructure, and establishes automated restore testing. Activates for requests involving ransomware backup planning, backup resilience, air-gapped backup design, or backup recovery point objective configuration.

Return recovery meetings (AA/NA/SMART/CMA/Al-Anon/etc.) and treatment/provider facilities indexed by SobaSearch near a given ZIP, city, or free-text location — names, schedules, addresses, phones, services, distance, and detail URLs.

Implement systematic disaster recovery testing to validate recovery procedures, measure RTO/RPO, identify gaps, and ensure team readiness for actual incidents.
