Restore Testing, Rollback, RTO/RPO, and Non-Claims

Backup, recovery, and cyber resilience

Latticra records backup, recovery, and resilience requirements before hosted services, mutating update lanes, production installers, production runtime, or recovery-service claims can promote. It does not create backups, store backups, restore systems, execute rollback, fail over, orchestrate recovery, or provide ransomware recovery.

Current Rule

Recovery evidence is not recovery authority.

The baseline names the evidence a future recovery-capable system would need: critical asset inventory, dependency restore order, RTO/RPO, backup scope, offline or immutable backup planning, integrity verification, restore tests, clean recovery environments, rollback plans, authorization, communications, incident handoff, and lessons learned.

01

Scope and priority

Critical assets, service priority, dependency restore order, backup owner, and business impact context must be recorded.

02

RTO/RPO and backups

Recovery time, recovery point, backup scope, offline or immutable backup path, encryption, and access controls are required.

03

Restore and rollback

Integrity verification, restore-test result, clean recovery environment, golden-image or IaC restore path, and rollback plan must exist.

04

Recovery handoff

Recovery authorization, communications path, incident-response handoff, post-recovery validation, lessons learned, and exception expiry are required.

Current Snapshot

The baseline exists to keep recovery claims closed.

These fields describe requirements and blocked behavior. They are not evidence of backup services, restore execution, rollback execution, failover, disaster recovery, or continuity operations.

Recovery Gate

No recoverability wording can promote without tested recovery evidence.

Recovery claims sit next to mutation, update, incident, hosting, and operational continuity boundaries. A future recovery path needs explicit scope, tests, authority, communication, validation, and exception records before the public wording can change.

Present now

Baseline record, status record, guard script, high-assurance allocation, incident-response context, logging/monitoring context, supply-chain rollback context, OS-image readiness context, and metadata-only recovery path records.

Required before promotion

Critical asset inventory, dependency restore order, business impact or service priority, RTO, RPO, backup scope, backup owner, offline or immutable backup path, encryption and access control, integrity verification, restore-test result, clean recovery environment, golden-image or IaC restore path, rollback plan, recovery authorization, communications path, incident handoff, post-recovery validation, lessons learned, exception owner, exception expiration, and operator-visible non-claims.

Denied now

Production recovery, restore execution, rollback execution, failover, backup service claims, disaster-recovery claims, ransomware-recovery claims, hosted-service recovery claims, production update recovery claims, and continuity claims.

Latticra Boundary

Recovery-related records remain no-effect metadata.

Latticra can name recovery paths, rollback plans, and installer validation recovery flags as records. It does not store backup data, restore runtime state, fail over services, or grant recovery authority.

Metadata

Recovery path

Recovery paths are planning records and source evidence, not executable recovery workflows.

Metadata

Rollback plan

Rollback requirements can be recorded before mutation lanes without enabling rollback execution.

Metadata

Install validation flags

Installer and OS-image readiness can carry recovery flags without claiming production recoverability.

Closed

Runtime recovery

No backup storage, restore runtime, failover runtime, disaster recovery, ransomware recovery, or recovery authority is added.

Local Commands

Validate recovery requirements without running recovery behavior.

These checks validate records and public alignment. They do not create backups, restore systems, roll back updates, fail over services, or write recovery artifacts.
