1. Purpose
Define the backup, restoration, and failover commitments SlashLogixx makes for the Spark platform and SlashLogixx-operated products, so that customers can size their own resilience plans against ours.
2. Recovery Objectives
| Objective | Target | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| RTO (Recovery Time) | ≤ 4 hours | SlashLogixx-hosted Spark control plane (Cloud, Connect, Connect BYOK) |
| RPO (Recovery Point) | ≤ 24 hours | Customer data hosted by SlashLogixx |
| Backup retention | 30 days, rolling | Daily snapshots; longer retention by contract |
| Backup encryption | AES-256 at rest | All backup artifacts |
"Target" is the commitment we plan and exercise against. Actual recovery on a given event may be faster or slower. Material misses are written up in a post-mortem under the Incident Response policy.
3. Backups
- Database snapshots are taken at least daily and verified for restorability on a recurring basis.
4. Restore Testing
- A representative database restore is performed at least quarterly. Successful restores are recorded; failures trigger remediation tickets and re-testing.
5. Failure Modes
- Single-host failure. Automatic failover via the underlying cloud provider; no customer action.
- Vendor outage. Where a critical subprocessor is the source of failure, status updates are published to customers and (where feasible) traffic is routed away from the affected dependency.
6. Customer Responsibilities
- Customers are encouraged to maintain their own export of business-critical data using the Platform's export tooling.
- Spark Connect and Spark Connect BYOK customers are responsible for backup, restore, failover, and DR on the VPC components they operate — and, on Connect BYOK, on their own LLM endpoint. SlashLogixx provides reference guidance on request.
7. Business-Continuity (Non-Tech) Events
For events affecting SlashLogixx as a business (key-person loss, facility loss, prolonged communication outage), customer-facing service continuity does not depend on the availability of any single individual.
