Enable Backup Vault Backups for PostgreSQL Flexible Servers for eFormidling in TT02 and Prod Environments #1089

Closed ootneim closed 2 weeks ago

ootneim commented 2 weeks ago

Description:
To ensure data redundancy and quick recovery, we need to enable Backup Vault backups for PostgreSQL Flexible Servers used by eFormidling in the TT02 (test) and Production environments. This will utilize the existing Backup Vault for automated backups, retention policies, and point-in-time recovery options.

Environments Affected:

Action Plan:

  1. Configure Backups on TT02
    • Enable Backup Vault backups for the PostgreSQL Flexible Server in TT02.
    • Set up an appropriate backup policy within the existing Backup Vault, including retention period and backup frequency.
    • Test the backup by performing a simulated restore in a sandbox environment to validate functionality.
  2. Enable Backups on Production
    • Once validated in TT02, enable Backup Vault backups for the Production environment.
    • Apply the same backup policy as configured in TT02.
  3. Monitoring and Alerts
    • Set up monitoring and alerts to notify the team of any backup failures or issues.
  4. Documentation
    • Document the backup configuration and steps for restoring from the Backup Vault.
    • Ensure recovery procedures are well-documented and accessible to the relevant teams.

Impact:
Enabling Backup Vault backups will provide additional data protection for eFormidling, reducing the risk of data loss in case of incidents. This is especially important for production data integrity and recovery capabilities.
