Business Continuity Strategy

This page documents all of the procedures and processes we have in place that can be used to ensure that your business can survive a disaster, at least from an IT perspective.

Data Backups

Forget About IT Ltd currently has three backup servers in two separate locations. Every night, at approximately 10pm, our servers start to copy all the changes that have happened to your data since the previous backup. Should this backup be interrupted, it will automatically try again after a short period of time, for a number of attempts. The process is repeated for at least one other out of the three backup servers, so that your data is backup up onto at least two backup servers. Once the backup has finished, the backup servers take a copy of the data and save it. Those daily backups are kept for a week. One backup a week is used as the weekly backup, and is kept for a month, and one backup a month is kept for a year. So at the end of a full year's rotation, we will have, on at least two different servers, at least 20 snapshots of your data (6 x daily, 4 or 5 x weekly, 12 x monthly).
