Full Backup (Cubis Data) - Preferred
Method.
Step 1
Label each of 6 cartridges
Mon, Mon2, Tue, Tue2, Wed,
Wed2, Thu, Thu2, Fri, Fri 2
Step 2
Start the cycle on a Monday and back up the entire data onto cartridge
"Mon", and another "Mon2" This is a full backup
of your cubis data. The data cartridge labelled "Mon2"
should then be stored off-site.
Step 3
Optional: Label an extra set called Mon3, Tue3 etc... and rotate
this set.
Rotational Backup
Step 1
Label each of 6 cartridges Fri 1, Fri 2, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu
Step 2
Start the cycle on a Friday and back up the entire hard disk onto
cartridge
"Fri 1". This is a full backup of your system. The data
cartridge should then be stored off-site.
Step 3
On Monday, back up only the files that have been created or updated
since the last backup (Fri 1) onto cartridge "Mon." This
is an incremental backup and can be stored on-site. (A full backup,
rather than incremental, can be performed if preferred.)
Step 4
Repeat Step 3 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, using corresponding
data cartridges.
Step 5
On Friday, do a full backup onto cartridge "Fri 2." You
have just completed a full backup rotation. Again, be sure to store
this cartridge off-site.
Step 6
The weekly process continues by repeating Step 3 and Step 4 using
the same "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu"
data cartridges. Step 5 is implemented by alternating cartridges "Fri
1" and "Fri 2".
N.B. It is very important that the Credit Union ensure that
a backup of your accounting software is also taken after any changes.
This software is usually Pastel Accounting. |
