Question

Implement the decided recovery policy as cataloged, checksummed, encrypted, off-host backup sets covering PostgreSQL logical exports plus physical base backup/continuous WAL or a proven managed equivalent, Project workspaces, compatible release/migration identity, configuration inventory, org-secret ciphertext, and separately recoverable key material. Establish a proven cross-store checkpoint, retention and alerting, partial-artifact cleanup, isolated restore with outbound integrations disabled, lifecycle reconciliation, critical SaaS journey verification, and measured RPO/RTO drills.
