CK:P Policy -
Backing Up Servers

System backups insure that all information on a server - files, mail, directories, and the operating system - are saved. If there is a disk crash, the backup disks can be used to rebuild the system without any loss of data.

Policy Guidelines for system backups.

• Responsibility for backups and tape storage is site based.
• Useradmins are responsible for this task.
• User files and personal mail/configurations will be backed up daily.
• User devices (PCs and Macs) will not be backed up.
• CK:P will provide the tapes, a backup procedure and support.
• Tapes should be secured in a safe place.
• Access to tapes by non-User Admins is strictly prohibited.
