Backup and Imaging Initiative — Complete Roadmap
Date: 2026-01-14
This document is the canonical roadmap for the Backup and Imaging Initiative (Office, Grocery, Hospitality). It contains the epics, their child issues, and a full chronological, dependency-driven execution order of all issues.
Project Summary
Goal: Establish a reliable, repeatable, and documented imaging and recovery system for Office, Grocery, and Hospitality environments. Deadline: June 30, 2026 Budget: $5,000 (local NAS hardware) + $80/month (cloud sync) + $1500 Local Hardware
Epics (master list)
-
EPIC #1 — Office Imaging and Deployment System (Issue #1)
- Purpose: Implement imaging/deployment process for Office systems to enable rapid restoration and redeployment and remove KVM-based manual restoration.
- Sub-issues (children):
- Issue #10 — Design Office Imaging Workflow
- Issue #16 — Implement Office Imaging Solution
- Issue #12 — Configure Automated Office Deployment
- Issue #17 — Validate Office Imaging System
- Issue #20 — Eliminate KVM Device Dependency for Office
-
EPIC #2 — Image Storage and Backup Infrastructure (Issue #2)
- Purpose: Provide local NAS storage in Lisle and Portage and an offsite/cloud sync for Grocery images.
- Sub-issues (children):
- Issue #19 — Assess Storage Infrastructure Requirements
- Issue #5 — Procure Lisle NAS System
- Issue #11 — Procure Portage NAS System
- Issue #8 — Deploy and Configure Lisle NAS
- Issue #6 — Deploy and Configure Portage NAS
- Issue #22 — Implement Grocery Cloud Sync Service
-
EPIC #3 — KVM Device Image Standardization (Issue #3)
- Purpose: Create standardized images for HP-based KVM devices, deploy to SD cards, and ensure repository retention.
- Sub-issues (children):
- Issue #13 — Design KVM Device Image Standards
- Issue #15 — Create HP KVM Device Images
- Issue #7 — Configure KVM SD Card Storage
- Issue #24 — Establish KVM Image Repository
- Issue #9 — Validate KVM Images
-
EPIC #4 — Documentation and Knowledge Transfer (Issue #4)
- Purpose: Capture SOPs, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides so procedures are repeatable and hand-offable.
- Sub-issues (children):
- Issue #18 — Document Office Imaging Procedures
- Issue #23 — Document Storage and Backup Procedures
- Issue #14 — Document KVM Imaging Procedures
- Issue #21 — Create System Recovery Runbooks
- Issue #25 — Create Troubleshooting Guides
