Backup Verification Operations

Guidelines for verifying, executing, and auditing system backups.

Safety Constraints

• CRITICAL: Never touch /var/lib/shiny-data/sofia/sofia.sqlite directly. All operations must proceed on backup copies.
• CRITICAL: Ask for explicit confirmation before database mutations.

Manual Executions

1. Trigger Full Server Backup

Manually run the daily backup and cloud sync script:

systemctl --user start backup-piMitters

Or run the script directly to see inline output:

/home/kyle/NixOS/scripts/backup-piMitters.sh

2. Trigger Sofia DB Backup

systemctl --user start backup-sofia-q2h

3. Trigger Laptop Backup

systemctl --user start backup-nixMitters

Verification & Auditing

• Check the log files: /home/kyle/backup-piMitters.log.
• Verify SQLite online .backup copies:

  ls -lh /mnt/piCloud/pi5-backup/sqlite-backups/
  

• Validate rclone cloud status:

  rclone lsd gdrive:systems-backups
