Backup restore

Backup Capacity Planning Guide

Backup Capacity Planning Guide for protecting ZartsAlgo admin, portal, database, connector, import, report, and traffic operations at larger client volume.

Security contract

What this control protects.

Use this guide before storing real customer data, connecting providers, enabling client portals, or importing high-volume traffic records.

Owner

One person owns the control

Client success owns setup, review cadence, incident notes, and launch signoff.

Risk

Name the failure mode

The main risk is presenting a client-safe green status before the underlying control is actually reviewed.

Evidence

Save proof before calling it ready

Save the backup manifest, restore result, incident note, or access review record before signoff.

Boundary

Keep client-safe summaries separate

Admin notes, raw provider payloads, credentials, and private customer details stay internal unless a portal-safe summary is explicitly approved.

Control checklist

Specific checks for this topic.

  • Traffic retention rule written
  • Webhook retry rule written
  • Provider credential rotation scheduled
  • Portal user offboarding path written
  • Admin export review completed
  • Admin password hash configured
  • Plain admin password restricted to local use
  • Operations data moved outside web root
  • Primary database environment reviewed

Baseline safeguards

Checks that apply everywhere.

  • Use password hashes or server environment variables instead of storing secrets in public files.
  • Keep admin and portal routes noindex, nofollow, and noarchive.
  • Move live operational data outside the public web root before real customer use.
  • Use narrow MySQL users for runtime, readonly reporting, imports, and traffic storage.
  • Verify backup, restore, and rollback before importing provider data or real clients.
  • Write an incident owner, pause path, and client-safe summary rule before launch.
  • Capture screenshots or logs without exposing provider tokens or customer private details.
  • Retest desktop and mobile after any dashboard, portal, or generated guide changes.

Operational controls

Turn the guide into repeatable work.

Each item should become an admin task, SOP note, launch checklist item, incident step, or client-safe report note depending on the risk.
