Backup Procedures
Nightly job that creates a backup of the individual databases. Backups are kept on the server. STS backs up the server nightly which includes current backup for each database.
Disaster Recovery
Backup data will be used to restore information to server.
Data Migration Description
The records within the shared drives will be migrated to another electronic application if it is determined that the existing system no longer meets the requirements of TDOC and/or STS. Another electronic application will be developed or purchased. At that time, STS staff will coordinate with the vendor/software supplier to map data exchanges between the current and new applications. Data conversion will be required in order to format the current data values into the format required by a replacement software system. Preserving the data integrity is the highest priority when migrating the information from one application to another, to ensure the value of the date is not lost in the process.
