From the source SKILL.md

A cloud without tested backups is a cloud waiting to lose data. Backup operations protect the entire stack -- from the databases that store state, to the configurations that define behavior, to the volumes that hold user data. The backup hierarchy ensures that any component can be recovered independently, from a single Keystone Fernet key to a complete cloud rebuild.

What this skill does

openstack-backup is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the appsec-tools sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/backup/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when planning backup strategy, scheduling automated backups, testing restore procedures, or executing disaster recovery.
