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.
