ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Backup

Protect configuration, SOPs, safety state and both audit representations without publishing their contents.

Back up

validated pantaw.yaml
approved SOP directory
maintenance and circuit-breaker state
JSONL audit file
SQLite audit database using a safe SQLite backup method
package identity, checksum and deployment manifest
reviewed scheduler definitions

Consistency

Coordinate writes according to the approved deployment procedure. Do not copy a live SQLite file with an unsafe method; use SQLite’s backup mechanism or stop the bounded writer first.

Protect

Restrict backup ownership and permissions. Audit data may contain host identity, process, mount, network, hardware and operational details even when secrets are excluded.
