Backup Procedures
THDA's data protection routine consists of differential backups each Monday-Thursday, and full application and data backups performed each Friday. Two backup sets are created daily using the disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) methodology. The first backup set is stored on a SAS (serial attached scsi) direct-attached disk array (disk-to-disk) and the second is a duplication of the first set to a tape library equipped with dual LTO-5 (linear tape open) drives (disk-to-tape). The Information Technology department retains the disk-based copy for a period of one month, and the tapes are transported offsite daily by a third party, Iron Mountain. Additionally, THDA employs a one month tape rotation schedule to correspond with THDA's business processes. An end-of-month full backup set is also archived at Iron Mountain facilities for a period of 12 months.
Disaster Recovery
THDA's IT division employs a Certified Business Continuity Specialist who maintains and executes the agency's Business Continuity Plan, which has been established and in place since 2008.
Data Migration Description
Overseen and conducted by THDA according to the agency's Business Continuity Plan.

Record Series Abstract does not provide description of documents in record series. It appears that program is no longer generating records, therefore, inactive.
