Restore vs forward-fix decision

On-callReliability & on-callSenior–Staff~20 min

An incident caused some recent data to be lost or corrupted. You can restore from a backup (losing changes since the backup) or try to forward-fix in place. How do you decide?

What a strong answer looks like

Stop the bleeding first (mitigate), then form hypotheses from real signals. Separate root cause from symptom, communicate status as you go, and close with what prevents a repeat.

Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
