# Disaster Recovery Playbook Cheatsheet
Quick reference for using the disaster recovery playbook.
## ⚠️ WARNING
This playbook performs **DESTRUCTIVE OPERATIONS**. Only use when recovering from a disaster or system failure.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Assess damage only (safe)
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml --limit failed_host --tags assess
# Full recovery
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml --limit failed_host \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
## Prerequisites
1. **Backups available** - Ensure backups exist in `/var/backups/`
2. **System accessible** - Host must be reachable via SSH
3. **Confirmation ready** - You'll need to type "RECOVER" to proceed
## Common Usage
### Assessment Phase (Safe)
```bash
# Assess system damage without making changes
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit failed_host \
--tags assess
# Multiple hosts
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit "host1,host2,host3" \
--tags assess
```
### Configuration Recovery
```bash
# Restore configuration files only
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit failed_host \
--tags restore_config \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
### Data Recovery
```bash
# Restore application data only
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit failed_host \
--tags restore_data \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
### Full Recovery
```bash
# Complete system recovery
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit failed_host \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
## Available Tags
| Tag | Description | Destructive? |
|-----|-------------|--------------|
| `assess` | Assess system state | No ✅ |
| `prepare` | Prepare for recovery | Yes ⚠️ |
| `restore_config` | Restore configuration | Yes ⚠️ |
| `restore_data` | Restore data | Yes ⚠️ |
| `services` | Restart services | No ✅ |
| `verify` | Verify restoration | No ✅ |
## Extra Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `dr_backup_date` | `latest` | Backup date to restore (format: YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `dr_verify_only` | `false` | Assessment mode only (no changes) |
## Recovery Phases
### 1. Assessment
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit host \
--tags assess
```
**Checks:**
- System accessibility
- Filesystem status
- Service status
- System errors
### 2. Preparation
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit host \
--tags prepare
```
**Actions:**
- Stops non-critical services
- Creates pre-recovery backup
- Syncs filesystems
### 3. Restoration
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit host \
--tags restore_config,restore_data
```
**Restores:**
- System configuration (/etc)
- SSH configuration
- Application data
- Database dumps
### 4. Service Restart
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit host \
--tags services
```
**Restarts:**
- SSH daemon
- Time synchronization
- Auditd
- Firewall
### 5. Verification
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit host \
--tags verify
```
**Verifies:**
- SSH connectivity
- Critical services running
- Filesystem integrity
- NTP synchronization
## Recovery Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Configuration Corruption
```bash
# Restore only configuration files
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit webserver01 \
--tags assess,restore_config,verify \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
### Scenario 2: Failed System Upgrade
```bash
# Full recovery from pre-upgrade backup
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit dbserver01 \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-10"
```
### Scenario 3: Data Loss
```bash
# Restore application data only
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit appserver01 \
--tags restore_data \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=latest"
```
### Scenario 4: Complete System Failure
```bash
# 1. Rebuild OS (manual or automated provisioning)
# 2. Ensure SSH access works
# 3. Run full recovery
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
--limit new_replacement_host \
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
```
## Finding Available Backups
```bash
# List all available backups for a host
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "ls -lh /var/backups/config/"
# Check backup dates
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "ls /var/backups/*/backup_manifest_*.txt"
# View backup manifest
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "cat /var/backups/backup_manifest_2025-01-11_0230.txt"
```
## Logs and Reports
Recovery logs: `./logs/disaster_recovery/<date>/<hostname>_recovery.log`

## Troubleshooting
### Backup not found
```bash
# Check backup location
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "ls -la /var/backups/"
# Restore from remote backup server
ansible failed_host -m synchronize \
-a "src=/mnt/backup-server/backups/ dest=/var/backups/ mode=pull"
```
### SSH connection lost during recovery
The SSH service restart is designed to maintain connections. If lost:
```bash
# Wait 60 seconds for SSH to restart
# Retry connection
ansible failed_host -m ping
```
### Service won't start after recovery
```bash
# Check service status
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "systemctl status service_name"
# Check service logs
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "journalctl -u service_name -n 50"
```
### SELinux blocking services
```bash
# Relabel SELinux contexts
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "restorecon -R /etc /var"
```
## Post-Recovery Checklist
- [ ] Verify all services running
- [ ] Test application functionality
- [ ] Check disk space
- [ ] Review system logs
- [ ] Verify backups are current
- [ ] Update documentation
- [ ] Notify stakeholders
- [ ] Conduct lessons learned review
## Best Practices
1. **Test recovery procedures regularly** - Monthly DR drills
2. **Document recovery time objectives (RTO)** - Know your targets
3. **Keep backups off-site** - Don't rely on local backups only
4. **Verify backup integrity** - Test restores before disasters
5. **Maintain runbooks** - Document specific recovery procedures
6. **Practice on staging** - Test recovery in non-production first
7. **Have communication plan** - Know who to notify
