Backup Frequency
- We perform a daily backup of our production, test and development servers. We also perform a daily database backup. In addition we perform incremental backups every 4 hours. We also perform an hourly backup of our database transaction log for point in time recovery. Backups are automated and electronically monitored. We are alerted if a backup fails.
- The production database is also mirrored at the disaster recovery site.
Offsite Storage
Backups are transmitted electronically (disk-to-disk) to the backup facility. The database backups are retained for 7 days and the daily backups for 1 month.
Security
All backups are encrypted using AES 256 bit encryption.
