What problem does it solve? Most teams take database backups but never test whether those backups actually restore, leaving them exposed when a real disaster hits. This Skill sets up scheduled Convex snapshot exports and runs a restore drill that recovers the data into a disposable preview deployment and asserts it came back intact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Snapshot Export: Takes a portable backup artifact with npx convex export, optionally including file storage, and recommends a schedule matched to your RPO with a retention window. - Restore Drill: Deploys a throwaway preview with npx convex deploy --preview-create, imports the snapshot into it, and asserts critical tables came back with expected row counts and real record samples. - Recovery Runbook: Produces a deploy-guard-gated runbook with the exact commands to restore to production, including the post-snapshot write-loss caveat. - Use Case: Before a major launch, run the drill to prove your nightly Convex exports actually restore — if the import lands zero rows, you find out now instead of during an outage. ## Quick Start Set up a daily Convex backup schedule and run a restore drill to verify my data can actually be recovered.
