The Backup Habit Every RAXXO Tool Follows Before Launch

说明与用途

在产品发布前实施定期备份和恢复演练的指南，保护用户数据，成本低，已防止两次数据丢失。

问题

Relying on post‑launch backups risks losing user data before a backup exists, leading to silent data loss and loss of trust.

结果

The backup habit prevented two real data losses, saved user data, and reduced risk of silent data loss. It costs minimal money and time.

工作流

• 1. Identify data that matters for each tool (DB tables, uploads, local settings).
• 2. Enable built‑in export/backup features on the hosting provider.
• 3. Schedule nightly exports of the database and versioned copies of uploads.
• 4. Set up a scheduled restore drill: take a recent backup, restore to a test environment, verify data integrity.
• 5. Monitor backup logs and restore drill results; if failure detected, fix immediately.
• 6. Include backup and restore steps in the launch checklist and sunset checklist.

The whole habit costs a few euros a month and has already saved real user data twice

I run an actual restore on a schedule, not just when something breaks
