alicloud-backup-bdrc is an agent skill that configures and manages Alibaba Cloud BDRC backup and disaster recovery policies to protect workloads and meet RPO and RTO targets.
About
alicloud-backup-bdrc is a cinience/alicloud-skills skill for Alibaba Cloud BDRC backup and disaster recovery. It guides configuring backup policies, recovery procedures, and workload protection so teams can hit recovery point and recovery time objectives. Developers reach for it when hardening production Alibaba Cloud estates or preparing audit-ready DR posture instead of improvising snapshot scripts. Pair skill guidance with your organization's RPO/RTO requirements and Alibaba Cloud BDRC console or API references for policy specifics.
- BDRC policy setup
- Disaster recovery planning
- Backup schedule automation
- RPO and RTO alignment
- Cross-region recovery

How do you configure BDRC backup on Alibaba Cloud?
Configure and manage Alibaba Cloud BDRC backup and disaster recovery policies to protect workloads and meet RPO/RTO targets.
Who is it for?
Platform engineers operating Alibaba Cloud production workloads who must formalize backup and disaster recovery policies.
Skip if: Local-only development environments without Alibaba Cloud workloads or teams that only need application-level unit tests.
When should I use this skill?
User asks to configure BDRC backup, disaster recovery, or RPO/RTO policies on Alibaba Cloud.
What you get
BDRC backup policies, recovery configurations, and documented RPO/RTO alignment for protected workloads.
- Backup policy configuration
- Disaster recovery plan artifacts

Category: service
Backup and Disaster Recovery Center
Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage resources for Backup and Disaster Recovery Center.
Workflow
1) Confirm region, resource identifiers, and desired action. 2) Discover API list and required parameters (see references). 3) Call API with SDK or OpenAPI Explorer. 4) Verify results with describe/list APIs.
AccessKey priority (must follow)
1) Environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALICLOUD_REGION_ID Region policy: ALICLOUD_REGION_ID is an optional default. If unset, decide the most reasonable region for the task; if unclear, ask the user. 2) Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials
API discovery
- Product code:
BDRC - Default API version:
2023-08-08 - Use OpenAPI metadata endpoints to list APIs and get schemas (see references).
High-frequency operation patterns
1) Inventory/list: prefer List* / Describe* APIs to get current resources. 2) Change/configure: prefer Create* / Update* / Modify* / Set* APIs for mutations. 3) Status/troubleshoot: prefer Get* / Query* / Describe*Status APIs for diagnosis.
Minimal executable quickstart
Use metadata-first discovery before calling business APIs:
python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.pyOptional overrides:
python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py --product-code <ProductCode> --version <Version>The script writes API inventory artifacts under the skill output directory.
Output policy
If you need to save responses or generated artifacts, write them under: output/alicloud-backup-bdrc/
Validation
mkdir -p output/alicloud-backup-bdrc
for f in skills/backup/alicloud-backup-bdrc/scripts/*.py; do
python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/alicloud-backup-bdrc/validate.txtPass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-backup-bdrc/validate.txt is generated.
Output And Evidence
- Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under
output/alicloud-backup-bdrc/. - Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.
Prerequisites
- Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
- Prefer environment variables:
ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID,ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optionalALICLOUD_REGION_ID. - If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
