Business Overview:
We are a healthcare tech company managing sensitive patient data. We have daily backups of all our critical databases and files.
The Challenge:
While we perform backups daily, we have no automated process to test their integrity. We are unsure if our backups are actually restorable until we desperately need them, which is a major risk for a data-sensitive business.
Problems Caused:
The lack of backup testing creates a false sense of security. A failed backup could lead to irreversible data loss and regulatory non-compliance, severely impacting our operations and trust.
Proposed Method:
The freelancer will design and implement an automated script or process to regularly test our backups. This could involve restoring a random sample of files or a database to a staging environment and verifying its integrity. The process should send an alert if a test fails.
Required Skills:
- Proficiency in a scripting language such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
- Experience with backup tools (e.g., Veeam, Restic, custom scripts).
- Knowledge of database restoration procedures (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
- Understanding of cloud storage (e.g., AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage).
Experience Required:
3+ years of experience in backup management and systems administration.
Delivery:
A working, automated backup integrity testing script and its configuration.
Support:
We require 2 weeks of post-delivery support to ensure the script runs smoothly and answer questions.
