Typical Workflows

Backup Creation & Management

Create backups of critical VMs and containers
Monitor backup completion and status
Verify backup storage allocation
Manage backup retention policies
Clean up old backups

Disaster Recovery Testing

Create test backups of critical systems
Use snapshots for point-in-time recovery
Restore to test environment
Verify functionality and data integrity
Document recovery procedures

Recovery Operations

Identify failed VM/container
Locate appropriate backup

Use

restore_vm_backup

restore_container_backup

Verify restored system functionality
Complete recovery procedures

Backup Monitoring

Monitor backup schedule compliance
Track backup storage usage
Monitor backup success/failure rates
Identify backup issues early
Generate audit reports

Example Questions

"Create a backup of VM 100 to storage"
"What's the status of recent backups?"
"Restore VM 200 from the backup created yesterday"
"Show me all available backups and their sizes"
"Create a snapshot of container 101 before updates"
"How much storage is used for backups?"
"Generate a disaster recovery test report"

Response Format

When using this skill, I provide:

Backup creation confirmations
Backup listings with dates and sizes
Restore operation status
Backup storage usage analysis
Recovery procedure documentation
Compliance and audit reports

Best Practices

Implement 3-2-1 backup rule (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite)
Backup critical systems regularly
Test restore procedures regularly
Monitor backup success rates
Implement backup retention policies
Encrypt backups for security
Store backups off-site
Document recovery procedures
Verify backup integrity
Monitor backup storage capacity
Automate backup schedules
Test recovery before disaster strikes
Keep backup inventories current
Monitor backup performance
Plan for recovery time objectives (RTO)
Plan for recovery point objectives (RPO)
