= Template Backup Data Paths

I believe communication to board and users is the way to deal with forgotten agreements, deals etc. Communication about backup is a very important part of the backup procedures, and since you should document what you backup, and keep that up to date [[checksprocedure|(see here)]] why not document it on your intranet or wiki and let people check that once in a while. The template below is what I used to communicate what is in the backup **and** what is not. Meaning, if there is a server which is not in the backup, it still should be in the list to clearify that it hasn't been forgotten.

== Overview
So what does everything mean? Most of the things speak for them selves except maybe for these:
* Schema
** backup frequency, the schema used here is [[wp>Sarbanes–Oxley_Act]], which actually means:
*** 1 day a week a full backup
*** 6 days a week an incremental backup
*** 1 day a month a month backup
*** 1 day a year a year backup
*** Week full backup is kept for 7 weeks (reused the 8th week)
*** Month full backup is kept for 11 months (reused the 12th month)
*** Year backup is never reused and kept for always
* Disk: Backup is made first to disk
* Tape: Backup is also made to tape
* Tape Combi: It does not matter if data is mixed with other data on the same tape

| | | mailserver | gw1 | | Sarbanes Oxley | Ja | Ja | Ja | Groupwise - should be backed through agent - restore is unsure |
| | | ftpbox | | | | | | | No backup required |

Note: 
* Customer data is not mixed with company data
* Really important data paths are also determined in for example a ticketing system (#0000156)
* Oracle live database is left out (/var/data/oracle), instead the dump directory (/var/backup) is in the backup
* There is no license for the groupwise agent, so the restore of the mail can't be guaranteed
