 | In either case, restoration tests shall be
performed. The restoration test shall not replace original data on the hard
drive. |
| Backups may be kept on zipdisks or CDRWs (a
CD-burner is on the Dell in the Associate’s office) |
| One backup copy should be maintained offsite.
Users may keep 2 backups, and rotate the off/onsite locations |
| In addition to word processing, database,
presentation and spreadsheet files, users will also back up:
 | Registry (Norton Systemworks->Utilities->Registry
Editor->File->Backup Entire Registry->Designate file path of backup media
and name backup |
| Email profile (Windows->Application
Data->Identities->Check all profiles |
|
| Program patches and driver updates, when
available, shall be backed up on a "Patch Backup" CDRW in case a
program needs to be reinstalled. A readme file shall be maintained on the
Patch Backup Disk delineating the date and program of each patch. The software
folder of each program should have a notation placed in it indicating a patch
is available on the patch disk. In the case of integral dynamic program
patches (which must be downloaded "live" from the internet and
integrated into the program, a reminder such a patch exists should be placed
in that program’s file. An example of such a program would be Norton
SystemWorks. It is not necessary to make such notations for Windows/IE
Explorer.) |
| For programs which are downloaded, rather than
purchased on disk, a folder shall be created for this program, with a copy of
the program .exe file burned on a backup CD.
