Keep the existing backups
The infrastructure rollout preserves backup files, destinations, and schedules. The portal shows whether backups are recent and whether restore verification has evidence.
Choose the right recovery
For a broken portal release, roll back the application. For a configuration problem, restore the relevant saved configuration. For a failed disk or operating system, use the machine recovery process before GitHub can reconnect.
Keep this page available
The wiki is hosted independently so you can still read recovery instructions when the local server is offline.
Read the outcome and the timestamp
The portal shows image and database backups separately. A running timer does not mean its last backup succeeded. Check the last outcome, the age of the backup, and the age of the status report.
