Decide recovery objectives, backup retention, and restore scope

Type: grilling Status: open

Question

For the initial SaaS service, decide measurable RPO/RTO targets, backup and restore-drill frequency, retention and deletion-in-backups policy, off-host copy/failure-domain requirements, logical export versus physical base-backup and continuous-WAL/PITR coverage, encryption and key custody, operator ownership, and whether the supported promise is full-service disaster recovery only or also Organization-selective export/restore. Record compliance-dependent items as explicit OPEN inputs rather than inventing defaults.
