Backups

Back Up

• node config overrides
• wallet.dat and wallet mnemonic/seed material
• Docker .env files
• Rosen watcher and guard local.yaml
• PostgreSQL dumps for guard, watcher, explorer, and custom indexers
• indexer schema/migration state
• reverse-proxy config and TLS renewal config

Do Not Treat As Enough

• synced blockchain data alone
• container images alone
• public explorer history
• screenshots of config

Restore Drill

At least once, restore onto a non-production host:

1. Restore config and secrets.
2. Restore DB dump or volume.
3. Start service on private ports.
4. Check API health.
5. Confirm node/index/watcher heights.
6. Confirm wallet address matches expected operator address.
