## Towbar manifest

```yaml title=".towbar/datastores/redis-recovery.datastore.yml" theme={"system"}
id: redis-recovery
name: Redis recovery
type: redis
container:
  network: application
  networkAlias: redis-recovery
  resources:
    cpus: 0.5
    memory: 512m
secrets:
  runtime:
    - REDIS_PASSWORD
environments:
  production:
    server: 192.0.2.10
backup:
  integration: aws
  schedule:
    cron: 0 3 * * *
    timezone: UTC
  retention:
    keepLast: 14
```

## Configure

1. Register and prepare the example server or servers, connect the repository, and map `production` to the branch containing these files.
2. Save each Datastore credential value under **Datastore → Settings → Secrets**, deploy it first, and verify engine readiness before starting a dependent Service.
3. Enable the selected backup integration and configure its runtime storage credentials and destination before creating a recovery point. A manifest policy alone does not provide storage access.
4. Sync the repository, inspect the resolved configuration, deploy manually, and perform the verification below before enabling automation.

## Verify

The restored data supports the application and append-only persistence resumes.
