Backup Verification
Check backup timestamps, verify integrity, and report overall backup health
Example Prompt
Verify that all our database backups are recent and healthy, and alert me if anything is off
About
This skill verifies the health of your database and file backups by checking the most recent backup timestamps, running integrity queries against backup metadata, and comparing against your defined backup schedule. It produces a health report and alerts the team if any backups are stale or potentially corrupted.
Workflow Steps
Query the backup metadata table for the latest backup timestamps and sizes
📊 Run SQL QueryCheck Redis for cached backup status flags and last-verified checksums
🔑 Get KeyAnalyze backup recency and integrity data against the expected schedule and thresholds
