Restore and first-hour practice

Separate observed recovery evidence from an untested assumption.

Check eight foundations for named records, recovery targets, protected copies, a safe restore, incident contacts, first actions, and a fictional exercise.

PRIVATE CHECK / 03

Recovery practice check

Check routines, not incident facts. This is not an active-response or recovery service.

Which recovery practices have been observed?The records and configurations needed to keep operating are specifically named.Recovery targets state how much work may be lost and how long restoration can take.A useful copy is protected from the same account, device, network, or administrator failure.A safe sample was restored to a separate location and opened successfully.An incident lead and backup have safe contact routes outside normal email.Bank, insurer, counsel, technology support, providers, and reporting contacts are current.People know the evidence-preserving first steps and which actions require qualified help.A fictional exercise produced a correction owner, due date, and next practice date.
