  }
}Edit scripts/checkpoint-simple.ps1 to adjust:
- Session interval: Change from 4 hours to your preference
 - Daily timing: Adjust when daily checkpoints are created
 - Feature threshold: Change from 10+ commits to your preference
 
Edit scripts/health-check.ps1 to include your project's specific health checks:
- Database connectivity
 - API endpoint tests
 - Build verification
 - Dependency vulnerability checks

"Accidentally deleted entire repository during backup system development. Restored in 3 minutes using the system's own checkpoint tags. 10/10 would accidentally delete again."
βββββ - GitHub Copilot (AI Assistant)
"This backup system was battle-tested when its own creator accidentally deleted the repository it was designed to protect. Recovery time: 3 minutes. Data loss: Zero. Developer stress level: Temporarily elevated, then significantly relieved."
βββββ - Real-world disaster recovery test
"The best way to test a backup system is when you really, really need it to work. This one passed with flying colors!"
