Overview

According to PRODUCTION_READINESS_ROADMAP.md, automated database backups are marked as "Not Started" and are CRITICAL priority for production deployment.

Current State

❌ No automated backup system
❌ No backup retention policy
❌ No off-site backup storage
❌ No backup integrity monitoring

Required Implementation

1. Backup Strategy

Implement:

Daily full backups
Hourly incremental backups (WAL archiving)
Point-in-time recovery capability

2. Backup Retention

30-day retention policy
Weekly archives (keep 4 weeks)
Monthly archives (keep 12 months)

3. Storage

Off-site storage (S3 or GCS)
Backup encryption at rest
Multiple region replication (optional)

4. Automation

Automated backup scripts
Cron job scheduling
Backup verification jobs

5. Monitoring

Backup success/failure alerts
Storage usage monitoring
Backup integrity checks

6. Documentation

Backup procedures documented
Restore procedures documented
Recovery time benchmarks

Acceptance Criteria

Daily full backups automated
Hourly incremental backups (WAL) configured
30-day retention policy implemented
Off-site storage (S3/GCS) configured
Backup encryption enabled
Backup monitoring and alerting
Restore procedures tested
RTO/RPO documented (target: RTO < 4h, RPO < 1h)

Ops Pipeline — No Executable Procedure

Research did not produce any executable commands.

Now I have the full picture. Here is my analysis.

IS_OPS: YES

Detailed analysis:

EVIDENCE: This issue is genuinely an operations task. It requires:

Configuring PostgreSQL WAL archiving (infrastructure change)
Writing/modifying backup shell scripts
Setting up cron scheduling inside a Docker container
Configuring S3/GCS off-site storage (cloud infrastructure)
Implementing backup encryption
Setting up monitoring and alerting for backup health
Documenting operational procedu
