# Resilience and snapshots

> Use snapshot workflows for backup, restore, and recovery during incidents.

Snapshots are the primary resilience workflow for server data recovery in Minenet.

## Snapshot lifecycle

Snapshot status can progress through:

* `pending`
* `creating`
* `completed`
* `restoring`
* `deleting`
* `failed`

## Supported operations

* Create snapshots for server resources.
* Restore a snapshot to a target server.
* Delete snapshot records/storage references.

## Recovery workflow

1. Identify the incident window.
2. Select a known-good completed snapshot.
3. Restore to the intended target with explicit truncate behavior.
4. Validate server state and service health after restore.

## Operational habits

* Capture snapshots before risky changes.
* Keep naming conventions consistent for faster recall.
* Verify restore paths in non-production flows periodically.
