Hardware / Software Vault

Reference examples for applying the Assemble and Keep pillars when evaluating stacks, backups, lifecycle risk, and replacement options.

The Hardware / Software Vault connects assessment findings to practical component references.

These are not required O.A.K. products. They are reference examples used when applying the method to stack design, backup planning, lifecycle risk, and minimum / recommended / maximum upgrade paths.

Use Organize references for PARA templates, naming schemes, account inventories, and documentation templates. Use Assemble references for computers, monitors, routers, switches, Wi-Fi, UPS devices, software, cloud services, automation tools, and physical infrastructure. Use Keep references for external drives, NAS devices, backup software, off-site storage, export formats, retention schedules, and restore-test checklists.
