I am the IT Technician at a school in Merseyside. I am also doing a degree in IT part-time (oh joy!). I’ve got a few questions on how schools across the UK meet their Disaster Recovery requirements. If you work as a Network Manager/Technician at a school/college I’d be eternally grateful if you could answer the following questions on Disaster Recovery! Basic Information 1. What type of establishment is it? (Primary School / High School / College) 2. How many users do you have on all networks? 3. What region is your school situated? (North-West / South-West / North East / South East) Disaster Recovery (DR) Plans 4. Does the establishment have a DR Plan? (Yes/No) 5. Do you review your DR plans regularly? (never/once/occasionally/often) 6. Do you test your DR plans regularly? (never/once/occasionally/often) 7. How many times have you had to implement your DR plans? (never/once/occasionally/often) Disaster Recovery Technologies 8. What technologies do you use to protect your data? (Single Tape Drive/Tape Library/Off-site Backups/Disk Backups/Other) 9. How do you protect your most recent backup? (Take Off-site/We Don’t!/Collections/Fire-Proof Safe/Other) 10. How often do you do a full back up your data? (Weekly/Daily/Monthly/Longer) Thank You!!

New to this site... Hello all! We use SMART's 'synchroneyes' software in several schools we manage, both primary and secondary. Its awesome for teachers to manage what pupils can do from blocking internet to transferring a file/image to all PC's in a classroom. The kids find ways around the internet block occasionally but we think we have secured the PC's enough now so all backdoors have been nailed shut! Hope this helps
