Hi there - this is my first post so I hope that it is (a) appropriate and (b) in the correct place!
I am a governor looking at ICT in a large primary, and have a background in school technology. I've recently been approached by a cloud based data archiving company which has prompted me to query schools' backup strategy - and I was wondering what is considered best practice - Becta prioduced some guidance, but is now obviously defunct. My questions are:
Who supplies backup solutions to schools - is it the support company or bought independently?
What data is backed up - all data, or just management data?
Do schools usually run incremental backups of their networks internally?
And how is off site backup achieved?
How are the data protection implications of off-site backup managed?
Thanks in advance...
