Convex Backup

Most backup setups stop at taking the export, which means you never learn whether the export restores until a real disaster forces the question. convex-backup closes that gap. It schedules regular snapshot exports to storage you control, then runs a restore drill: it creates a throwaway Convex preview from current code, imports the snapshot into it, and checks that the critical tables came back with the expected row counts and real records. The drill reuses the same snapshot and preview mechanics as migrate-rehearse, aimed at recovery rather than a schema change. The part worth taking seriously is that a restore landing zero rows counts as a failed drill, and the skill is built to surface that loudly. Preview deploy keys are a paid-tier feature, so free-tier users fall back to a personal dev deployment.

Back up — and prove the restore works

Every backup story has two halves and most people only do the first: taking the backup, and proving you can get it back. This capability does both — it sets up regular snapshot exports and then runs a RESTORE DRILL that actually recovers the data into a disposable preview and asserts it's intact. The drill reuses migrate-rehearse's exact primitives (snapshot export → preview deploy → snapshot import) pointed at recovery instead of a forward change, so the safety net is tested, not assumed.
