+# Backup Strategy
+
+## Overview
+
+Implements the **3-2-1 rule**: 3 copies of data, on 2 different storage types, with 1 offsite.
+
+| Copy | Location | Type | Retention |
+|------|----------|------|-----------|
+| 1 | EC2 (EBS) | Block Storage | Live |
+| 2 | S3 Standard | Object Storage | 30 days |
+| 3 | S3 Glacier | Cold Storage | 90 days |
+
+## What is Backed Up
+
+1. **PostgreSQL Database** (`database-*.sql.gz`) - All application data, users, repos metadata
+2. **Gitea Data** (`gitea-data-*.tar.gz`) - Git repositories, LFS objects, attachments, SSH keys
+3. **Configuration** (`config-*.tar.gz`) - docker-compose.yml, nginx configs, .env, scripts
+
+## Backup Schedule
+
+| Type | Frequency | Time | Script |
+|------|-----------|------|--------|
+| Automated | Daily | 02:00 UTC | `/opt/gitea/scripts/backup.sh` |
+| Pre-Update | Before updates | Variable | Called by update scripts |
+| Manual | On-demand | N/A | Run backup.sh manually |
+
+**Location**: `s3://qvest-task-backups/backups/`
+
+## Retention & Lifecycle
+
+```
+Day 1-30:  S3 Standard (instant access)
+Day 31-90: S3 Glacier (retrieval: minutes to hours)
+Day 90+:   Automatically deleted
+```
+
+Managed by Terraform (`terraform/storage.tf`). S3 versioning enabled with 30-day noncurrent version expiration.
+
+## Restore Procedures
+
+### Quick Restore
+
+```bash
+# List available backups
+sudo /opt/gitea/scripts/restore.sh
+
+# Restore specific backup
+sudo /opt/gitea/scripts/restore.sh <timestamp>
+# Example: sudo /opt/gitea/scripts/restore.sh 20260611_164408
+```
+
+The script will:
+1. Prompt for confirmation
+2. Download backups from S3
+3. Stop services
+4. Restore database, data, and configuration
+5. Restart and verify services
+
+## Disaster Recovery Scenarios
+
+### Database Corruption
+**Solution**: Database-only restore
+
+### Repository Deletion
+**Solution**: Full restore (database + data must match)
+
+### Complete Instance Failure
+**Solution**: Rebuild infrastructure + restore  
+**Steps**:
+1. `terraform apply`
+2. `ansible-playbook site.yml`
+3. `restore.sh`
+4. Update DNS if needed
+
+## Security
+
+- **Encryption**: S3 server-side AES-256 encryption enabled
+- **Access**: EC2 IAM role with S3FullAccess (consider tightening to bucket-specific)
+- **Data Sensitivity**: Backups contain passwords, SSH keys, API tokens - restrict S3 bucket access
+
+⚠️ **Note**: `.env` file with secrets is included in config backups. Secure S3 bucket appropriately.
+
+## Document History
+
+| Version | Date | Changes |
+|---------|------|---------|
+| 1.0 | 2026-06-11 | Initial backup strategy |
