Backup Procedures
Although automatic backups to a local ER 3.0 hard drive are
scheduled nightly by default, it is important that the ER 3.0
administrator implements a backup policy to ensure data
integrity and continuity in the event of any possible failure
scenario. This policy should include frequent, remote back-
ups, such that raw logs and ER 3.0 database files are avail-
able for restoration without relying on the ER 3.0’s hard
drives.
In general, recovery plans involve (i) restoring the most
recent backup of the database, and (ii) restoring raw logs to
fill in the gap between the most recent backup of the data-
base, and the current date and time.
