Run the vault data-safety runbook: 3-2-1 backup, the never-deleted originals archive, the schedulers that keep it running, and the restore or new-machine migration procedure. Verifies by reading state rather than trusting exit codes. Triggers: "make a backup", "verify the backup", "the backup looks broken", "restore the vault".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Obsidian backup & restore (data-safety runbook) > 🧒 **When reporting to Anton:** always end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap in his language (plain words, no jargon) — his standing request. See memory `eli5-always`. This skill is the operational runbook for Anton's vault data-safety system. The **rules** (always preserve originals; always back up offsite to Google Drive) live in memory — `preserve-originals-rule`, `vault-offsite-backup` — and in the import skills (`obsidian-ingest` Rule 0, `telegram-reimport` Step 0). **Don't re-derive or duplicate them here.** This file says *what to run, where things are, and how to recover*. ## The system at a glance — 4 layers 1. **Originals (Rule 0).** Every import's raw source is copied verbatim to `$OBSIDIAN_ROOT/_originals/<key>\<date>__<name>\` (sha256 manifest), **never deleted**. Script: `archive_original.py`. 2. **3-2-1 backup.** Vault → one **git bundle** (full history) + `_originals` copy-only → to **Google Drive** (offsite/cloud) **and** `<LOCAL_BACKUP_DIR>` (separate disk). Script: `backup_to_drive.py`. …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/obsidian-backup@sha256:839a2e3df3e838d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
