Updated October 4, 2026. Save an editable copy for each service and exercise.
Choose objectives with the accountable service owner. Fictional guide targets
are examples, not prescribed service levels. Record evidence, not credentials.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Service / business owner / technical owner / inventory date:
Users and roles / locations / content volume and growth / peak workload:
Critical reader or staff tasks / tolerated interruption:
RTO (duration) / clock-start event / usable-service acceptance criteria:
RPO / maximum acceptable data-loss window / reason:
Policy owner / record classes / retention-policy references / hold process:

COPY REGISTER (repeat per active store, snapshot, replica, backup or archive)
Copy ID / role / source / location / schedule / retained recovery points:
Failure boundary / administrative independence / access owner:
Encryption and protected key-recovery reference / restoration procedure:
Change propagation / deletion handling / hold handling / expiry evidence:

DEPENDENCIES (repeat for files, database, permissions, index, configuration)
Component / version / owner / backup method / recovery point:
Consistency group / restore order / dependency references:
Index restored or rebuilt / measured rebuild time:
Validation method / expected IDs, versions and relationships:

RESTORE EXERCISE
Exercise ID / date / isolated environment / chosen collection:
Expected item manifest and hashes / roles and denied-access cases:
Interruption time / consistent recovery point / validation finish time:
Observed recovery duration = finish minus interruption:
Observed data-loss window = interruption minus recovery point:
RTO met? / RPO met? / evidence:
Files open correctly / counts and identifiers reconcile / hashes match:
Database relationships and metadata / search / allowed and denied access:
Exception ID / affected item / expected vs observed / evidence:
Action / accountable owner / due date / retest result:
Business acceptance / approver / date / remaining restrictions:
Next trigger: key, identity, application, storage or backup change.

FICTIONAL TIME CHECK
Outage 14:00; recovery point 13:30; validated service 17:10.
3h10m recovery <= 4h RTO. 30m data-loss window <= 1h objective.
Passing time targets still requires the content and access checks above.
