Backup Procedures
Data stored on the Shared SQL server is replicated. For the Windows application server, currently, only standard file level backup services are offered. Every STS 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
STS preforms nightly backups of servers which includes the current two days of backups for each database. Hard copy Backups are stored off-site weekly.
Data Migration Description
STS maintains and migrates data according to system updates, upgrades and replacements. Full procedures are available with STS
