Data Security System



Initiative TitleData Security System
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Data Loss Prevention - The main reason for data backup is to save important files if a system crash or hard drive failure occurs

Archiving - Data backups can assist in the development of archives.

Recovery Time - Server failures or server replacements can take days to recover from. Current technologies can store a complete image of your server configuration in addition to your files.  If your server fails, the entire server configuration and your files can be restored from the back-up.

Combined On-site and Cloud Backup - Ensures easy access and disaster protection with backups kept on-site and a copy of the same backups in an off-site location.  Current technologies can store a copy (including the image referenced above) of the backup on what amounts to a mini PC on-site.  The data is then replicated and on a scheduled basis, the copy is automatically and securely transmitted and stored to “The Cloud”.

File-level backups - provides a secondary mechanism to make sure data is protected.  Current technologies can also provide file-level restorations (including image referenced above) to recover single files and folders.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

We have two points of failure for data loss.  This will add an additional layer of protection for disaster recovery.

All data with the exception of those already in a cloud are housed on our campuses
