Backup Procedures
Every OIR managed server performs a nightly incremental backup to a disk storage device and is replicated to the other datacenter upon completion. Incremental backups are performed every night of the week and are retained for 30 days at each site. On the last Friday of the calendar month, a full backup is taken of every server and that full backup image is kept on disk for 60 days at both datacenters. The full backup image is also duplicated to tape for long term storage at Iron Mountain for 7 years. The standard backup window for both incremental and full server backups is between 6pm and 6am central time.
Disaster Recovery
Servers must be back online and available within 48 hours. 24 hours is the maximum amount of data that can be lost in the event of a declared disaster.
Data Migration Description
Files previously located in FileNet have been migrated to the CORE system. Records are also submitted electronically in the CORE system.
