Back Up & Retention Policy

Workplace Rehabilitation Management Australia – iinsight

How long should you keep your backups? The average time is seven (7) years in Australia, as that period is deemed reasonable enough to satisfy the requirements for corporate and personal tax record retention. However, it may not be enough if you consider data retention requirements, which will vary according to the type of data you are producing and keeping. The regulations differ from one industry to another, so if you are running a medical practice or a clinic, it may be best to look for a back-up and storage software solution that is designed specifically for your unique needs.

Understanding backup retention policy

The basis of most backup retention policies is a carefully decided period when the backup system keeps the previously stored backups. If that period is too long, you may lose sensitive data. But making it too short could overload or waste the backup storage and result in lost funds for storage. Optimising your existing policy will be easier with a back-up and storage software management solution that can control the size of backups and the time.

How to make a backup retention policy

Traditionally, you will have to build a backup template while referring to the best practices. It will save a copy of database-crucial tables every minute into a local drive and save a copy of the whole database into your preferred cloud service every hour. A full copy of the database will be saved to an external hard drive daily.

It is also important to know the standard parameters involved in a backup retention policy. Factors like storage size, automation of backups, and backup retention period are some of the critical aspects of back-up and storage software management.

Without the right back-up and storage software, you would have to backup your database and files manually, and that can be time-consuming that you might not have enough time for it. You could hire someone to take care of that, but that would mean additional overhead costs on your part. Besides, you would also have to invest continuously on backup storage devices.

Avoid all that guesswork

You do not have to worry about building your own template when you have a back-up and storage software to do all the work for you. It is important to make sure that it meets your case management requirements, too. In that case, you might want to invest in a case management software like iinsight®.
