Certainly! Here’s the full detailed breakdown for the task:


✅ SayPro Task: Back Up SayPro Site Files Before and After Every Malware Removal

Responsible Team: SayPro Websites and Apps Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty
Timeline: Aligned with all malware scan/removal actions (Weekly, Mid-Month, End-of-Month in February)
Applies To: All SayPro websites, CMS platforms, web applications, backend portals, mobile app servers, and associated databases


🔹 Objective of This Task

To protect the integrity and continuity of SayPro’s digital assets by performing comprehensive backups before and after every malware scan and removal process. This ensures that clean versions of the sites are always restorable, and affected files are preserved for analysis or audit purposes.


🔹 Scope of Backups

  1. Pre-Removal Backup (Before Malware Removal)
    • Captures the full state of the SayPro platform at the time malware is detected.
    • Preserves infected files for security audit, threat analysis, or forensic tracing.
    • Prevents permanent data loss in case malware removal corrupts critical files.
  2. Post-Removal Backup (After Malware Cleanup)
    • Saves the final, malware-free state of the site/application.
    • Provides a new clean baseline version for restoration if future incidents occur.
    • Ensures business continuity and rapid recovery in case of rollback needs.

🔹 Detailed Backup Process

Step 1: Pre-Removal Backup (Before Malware Cleanup)

  4. Save backup to:
    • SayPro internal secure cloud storage
    • Secondary secure offline/remote backup repository
  5. Generate and store hash checksums (SHA-256) to ensure backup file integrity.
  6. Document:
    • Malware location (if known)
    • Site condition
    • CMS/plugin versions

Step 2: Malware Removal/Cleanup

  • Scan and remove malicious scripts/files using approved tools.
  • Validate that site functionality is restored and security threats are eliminated.

Step 3: Post-Removal Backup

  1. Initiate a clean backup of the now-restored site/app.
  2. Use the same folder structure, but labeled:
    SayPro_Backup_AfterRemoval_[DomainName]_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM
  3. Verify:
    • All infected files are gone
    • Database integrity remains
    • No functional issues introduced
  4. Upload to the secure SayPro backup storage.
  5. Tag and link both pre- and post-removal backups for traceability.
