You can never have too many backups.

Setup a tertiary backup solution over the weekend. So customer data using online backup service is now managed across 3 separate servers.

1. Our primary web server c8software.com.au (hosted in Melbourne, Australia by cloud services company web24)
2. A cloud VPS service running in the United States (hosted by a large cloud services company Rackspace)
3. A new third server running on c9 premises

The new backup also replaces c9's backup strategy for c9 software and c9 assets itself.  Prior system used rotating offsite backup taken weekly.

The new system will bring in following over next few days as well

• Two offsite backup locations.  One rotated every couple of days,  And the other rotated weekly
• Regular snapshot/checkpointing of customer online backup data. Online backup server copies data instantaneously, to all 3 servers. But it only contains current data; snapshots/checkpoints is about recording data at a point of time; so you can refer back to  data as it was at a point in time in the past.  Currently checkpoints run at the start of the month.  New server will permit running a daily checkpoint (retaining upto 45 days of data).
