Review database and file backups

The handoff
A review-ready brief about authorized database exports, file archives, backup destinations, and status notices, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.
Keep in mind
Backups can contain complete customer records, credentials, or regulated information, and a success notice does not prove recoverability. Encrypt and restrict copies, exclude secrets where possible, verify integrity and restoration tests, set retention and deletion rules, and require an administrator to approve destinations, restores, and external notifications.
