Verify an od-db-backup cold backup by restoring it into a throwaway, network-isolated Hyper-V VM (revert to checkpoint after), never over live prod. Covers matching versions from MANIFEST, whole-datadir restore for InnoDB, re-pointing the image path, and a pass/fail health checklist (connects, Help>About version, Database Maintenance Check, recent data, images open, no missing tables, optional mysqlcheck). Cites Open Dental Backups / Manual Backups / Database Maintenance. Cross-linked with od-db-backup.md; README updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# rb — runbooks
|
|
|
|
Generic, reusable IT procedures and scripts for MSP field work. Fetched onto
|
|
client workstations during on-site work with short, hand-typeable commands.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> **This repository is PUBLIC-READ.** It must never contain client-identifying
|
|
> information — no client names, hostnames, IPs, usernames, credentials, or
|
|
> screenshots. Procedures with placeholders **only**. See
|
|
> [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the sanitization rule.
|
|
|
|
> Provided as-is, no warranty. Running any script is at your own risk. Contains
|
|
> no client-identifying data by policy.
|
|
|
|
## Using a runbook
|
|
|
|
Fetch and read on the target workstation:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
irm https://gitea.ivangodwin.com/ops/rb/raw/branch/main/<file> | more
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run an executable runbook script directly (scripts live under `scripts/`):
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
irm https://gitea.ivangodwin.com/ops/rb/raw/branch/main/scripts/<file>.ps1 | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Scripts prompt for anything client-specific via `Read-Host` — nothing to edit
|
|
before running. See [`scripts/_template.ps1`](scripts/_template.ps1) for the
|
|
convention.
|
|
|
|
## Layout & naming
|
|
|
|
- **Runbooks** (`.md`) live flat at the repo root with short, hand-typeable
|
|
filenames and light category prefixes.
|
|
- **Scripts** (`.ps1`) live under [`scripts/`](scripts/). `_template.ps1`
|
|
sorts first and is the convention reference, not a runnable runbook.
|
|
- **Meta** (`README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`) stays at the root.
|
|
|
|
Runbook prefixes:
|
|
|
|
| Prefix | Domain |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `win-` | Windows workstation / server |
|
|
| `m365-` | Microsoft 365 / Entra |
|
|
| `od-` | Open Dental |
|
|
| `net-` | Networking |
|
|
|
|
## Placeholder conventions
|
|
|
|
Fill these from the private tier (private repo or Bitwarden secure note) at
|
|
run time — never commit filled-in values.
|
|
|
|
| Placeholder | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `<CLIENT>` | Client / site identifier |
|
|
| `<SERVER>` | Server hostname |
|
|
| `<SHARE>` | Share name |
|
|
| `<SHARE_USER>` | Local account used for share access |
|
|
| `<USER>` | End-user account |
|
|
| `<PASSWORD>` | From password manager — never written to a file |
|
|
|
|

## Tiers
|
|
|
|
- **This repo (public):** generic procedures, placeholders only.
|
|
- **Private tier:** filled-in, client-specific versions — private repo or
|
|
Bitwarden secure notes. Never here.
|
|
|
|
This repo also serves as the raw source for Intune remediation scripts and as
|
|
documented-procedures evidence for E&O / cyber insurance.
