> Three independent recovery layers, each covering a different kind of loss — losing one doesn't mean the others are unavailable. And two deliberately decoupled upgrade systems, kept separate on purpose. Both halves of this doc are about the same underlying discipline: assuming things will eventually fail, and designing so one failure doesn't cascade into a second.

## Why Three Layers Instead of One Comprehensive Backup System

A single backup tool covering everything was the simpler design, and it was rejected because "a host" and "a database's data" are fundamentally different kinds of loss with different recovery needs. Rebuilding a lost host from [`docs/iac-pipeline.md`](iac-pipeline.md)'s pipeline is fast and doesn't need a backup at all — the *code* is the backup. But that same pipeline can't recover yesterday's database contents, which is what Layer 2 and 3 exist for. Trying to make one tool do both jobs well tends to produce a tool that's mediocre at each — full-host imaging is slow and coarse-grained for restoring one app's data, and application-level backup can't reconstruct a host's OS and configuration from scratch efficiently. Three narrow, purpose-fit layers beat one general-purpose one here.
