+## RTO / RPO Targets
+
+| Target                             | Value         | Description                                           |
+| ---------------------------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| **RTO** (Recovery Time Objective)  | **5 minutes** | Maximum tolerable downtime before service is restored |
+| **RPO** (Recovery Point Objective) | **1 hour**    | Maximum tolerable data loss window                    |
+
+These values are enforced in code via `RTO_SECONDS = 300` and `RPO_SECONDS = 3600` in `backend/dr/DisasterRecoveryService.ts`.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+SubTrackr is a mobile-first React Native app. All user state (subscriptions, wallet, transaction queue) is persisted in **AsyncStorage** on the device. The DR service snapshots these keys, stores encrypted manifests alongside the data, and can restore them on demand.
+
+```
+AsyncStorage keys backed up:
+  subtrackr-subscriptions   — subscription list (Zustand persist)
+  subtrackr-wallet          — wallet connection state
+  subtrackr-tx-queue        — pending transaction queue
+```
+
+---
+
+## Backup Procedure
+
+### Automatic (recommended)
+
+Schedule `disasterRecoveryService.createBackup()` on app foreground/background transitions:
+
+```ts
+import { AppState } from 'react-native';
+import { disasterRecoveryService } from '../backend/dr/DisasterRecoveryService';
+
+AppState.addEventListener('change', (state) => {
+  if (state === 'background') disasterRecoveryService.createBackup();
+});
+```
+
+### Manual
+
+```ts
+const manifest = await disasterRecoveryService.createBackup();
+console.log('Backup created:', manifest.id, 'checksum:', manifest.checksum);
+```
+
+Up to **5 backups** are retained; older ones are pruned automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Backup Verification
+
+Run after every backup to confirm integrity:
+
+```ts
+const result = await disasterRecoveryService.verifyBackup(manifest.id);
+if (!result.valid) {
+  console.error('Backup invalid:', result.errors);
+}
+```
+
+Verification checks:
+
+1. Backup exists in storage
+2. Checksum (djb2) matches stored value
+3. Schema version matches current `BACKUP_VERSION`
+4. Backup age is within RPO window (warning only — does not block restore)
+
+---
+
+## Failover Procedure
+
+### Automatic failover (data corruption / app crash)
+
+```ts
+const result = await disasterRecoveryService.failover();
+if (result.success) {
+  console.log('Restored keys:', result.restoredKeys);
+  // Reload app state from AsyncStorage
+} else {
+  console.error('Failover failed:', result.errors);
+  // Escalate: prompt user to re-authenticate / re-sync from chain
+}
+```
+
+`failover()` iterates backups newest-first, verifies each, and restores the first valid one.
+
+### Manual restore from a specific backup
+
+```ts
+const backups = await disasterRecoveryService.listBackups();
+const result = await disasterRecoveryService.restoreBackup(backups[0].id);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Recovery Runbooks
+
+### Scenario 1 — Corrupted subscription data
+
+**Symptoms:** App crashes on load, subscriptions list empty or malformed.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Call `disasterRecoveryService.failover()`
+2. If successful, reload the Zustand store: `useSubscriptionStore.persist.rehydrate()`
+3. Verify subscription count matches expected
+4. If no backup available, re-sync from Soroban contract via `walletService`
+
+**Expected RTO:** < 1 minute
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 2 — Wallet state lost
+
+**Symptoms:** Wallet shows disconnected after update or device restore.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Call `disasterRecoveryService.failover()`
+2. If wallet key restored, re-initialise Freighter connection
+3. If not, prompt user to reconnect wallet (social login or Freighter)
+
+**Expected RTO:** < 2 minutes
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 3 — Full device wipe / new device
+
+**Symptoms:** Fresh install, no local data.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. No local backups available — AsyncStorage is empty
+2. User must re-authenticate via Web3Auth or Freighter
+3. Subscription history can be re-fetched from Soroban contract events
+4. Manual re-entry required for Web2 subscriptions
+
+**Expected RTO:** < 5 minutes (within RTO target)
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 4 — Backup checksum failure
+
+**Symptoms:** `verifyBackup()` returns `valid: false` with checksum error.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Do **not** restore the corrupted backup
+2. Try the next backup: `listBackups()` → iterate and `verifyBackup()` each
+3. Restore the first valid backup
+4. Delete the corrupted backup: `deleteBackup(corruptedId)`
+5. Immediately create a fresh backup after restore
+
+---
+
+## Regular DR Testing
+
+Run the built-in drill on every CI pipeline and before each release:
+
+```ts
+const drill = await disasterRecoveryService.runDrDrill();
+console.assert(drill.passed, 'DR drill failed', drill);
+console.assert(drill.rtoCompliant, `RTO exceeded: ${drill.recovery.durationMs}ms`);
+```
+
+The drill:
+
+1. Creates a backup
+2. Verifies it
+3. Restores it
+4. Measures restore duration against RTO
+
+**CI integration** — add to `package.json` scripts:
+
+```json
+"dr:drill": "jest backend/dr/__tests__/DisasterRecoveryService.test.ts --no-coverage"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Escalation
+
+| Condition             | Action                                                               |
+| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| All backups corrupted | Re-sync from Soroban contract; prompt user                           |
+| RTO exceeded in drill | Investigate AsyncStorage performance; consider reducing backup scope |
+| RPO warning on verify | Increase backup frequency (trigger on every state mutation)          |
