Monthly backup job ledger
A standing arrangement for sites that want last month’s exceptions drawn on one page, in the same hand, before the operations meeting.
Some rooms already know how to run the jobs. What they lack is a page that the director will actually read. The monthly backup job ledger is a standing drawing of last month: which job families ran, which skipped, which were rerun by hand, and whether anyone attempted a restore.
You send the reports. We do not log into your estate. Nino draws a single sheet in the newspaper manner this office uses — columns, a small map of media, a red ember mark on anything that failed twice. Giorgi writes a short caption in English for each mark.
The arrangement is month-to-month after a three-month start, because the first pages always uncover a job that nobody had been opening. If a month is quiet, the page is still sent; silence is itself a fact worth putting on paper.
This is not a substitute for a Recovery Readiness Review. It will not time a restore. It will keep the exception list from living only in a folder named “misc.”
