Backup restore drill passed.

• Restored last night's Postgres snapshot to an isolated instance in 23 minutes.
• Row counts match production within the snapshot window.
• RTO target is 60 minutes, so we have headroom.

Timeline of the drill:

• 02:00 snapshot taken.
• 09:10 restore started on an isolated instance.
• 09:33 instance accepted connections (23 minutes).
• 09:41 row counts compared on 38 tables, all match.

No. The restore covers the database only. Object storage and the search index are restored separately and were not part of this drill.

Next drill should include a full-stack restore with a target of 90 minutes end to end. I can schedule it for the second week of January.
