Backup  

User data backup is done :

  1. Weekly to an external backup tape device;
  2. Quaterly to external storage disks.

MySQL/Postgres data backup are also done by data export (dump) to SQL based plain text files :

  1. Weekly data exports are kept up to one month;
  2. Monthly data exports are kept permanently.

    The "permanent" copy of the database exports will be selectively deleted from backup archive to save space in one of the following cases assuming:

    • The data is older than 5 years
    • Newer replicates of the same data are in existence in the backup

Depending upon our workload, we will strive to provide NRSP-8 human resources for software/database development to NRSP-8 members free of charge. Feel free to discuss your needs with our Bioinfo Team.
