What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by stbenjam/skillsaw in tests/fixtures/large-skill-library/skills/verify-backups/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Proves a backup can be restored, on a schedule, into a throwaway environment.

Monthly drill

  1. Pick the newest full backup and one incremental.
  2. Restore into a fresh namespace.
  3. Run the consistency checks in the check script.
  4. Record the restore duration.

A restore that runs longer than the recovery time objective is an incident, not a note. Report it through the RTO tracker.
