This issue straddles being an MIS question, but might have wider implications across one MIS type, so I've opted to post it in the Data forum.
An update to legislation in August 2024 made it a requirement for schools to make a backup copy of their Admission and Attendance registers once a month, and keep the backup for six years.
Our MIS Arbor only keeps backups on our behalf for 35 days, with no way for us to export these to store for any longer.
The additionally tricky part is that there is a strong interpretation IMO of needing to also store all changes/amendments/reasons to the registers as part of these backups.
How is everyone else fulfilling the legislation's requirements?
In fact, how many of you knew that was a requirement now?
