Maintenance Procedure for System

Backups
1. Introduction
This document outlines the procedures for performing system backups to ensure data
integrity and availability. Regular backups are crucial for recovering from data loss,
corruption, or system failures.

2. Scope
This procedure applies to all critical systems requiring data backup, including servers,
databases, and configuration files.

3. Responsibilities
The IT Department is responsible for performing system backups and ensuring backup data
integrity. Operators should verify the success of backup procedures as part of their routine
tasks.

4. Backup Frequency
Backups should be performed according to the following schedule:

- Daily incremental backups for critical systems.


- Weekly full backups for all systems.
- Monthly backups for archive purposes.

5. Backup Procedure
1. Verify the backup destination (e.g., external storage, cloud service) is accessible.
2. Initiate the backup process using the designated backup software.
3. Monitor the backup process for any errors or interruptions.
4. Upon completion, verify the backup log for success or failure messages.
5. Store backup data securely in a designated location.

6. Data Verification
Periodically verify the integrity of backup data by restoring a sample backup to a test
environment and checking for data completeness.
7. Retention Policy
Retain daily backups for one week, weekly backups for one month, and monthly backups for
one year. Archive backups may be kept longer based on regulatory requirements.

8. Restoration Procedure
1. Identify the backup set needed for restoration.
2. Verify the backup's integrity before initiating restoration.
3. Restore data to the original or designated recovery environment.
4. Confirm the successful restoration of data.

9. Conclusion
Regular system backups and data verification are essential for maintaining data integrity
and ensuring business continuity.
