Does May First/People Link backup my data?
Yes - we do back up all data on all of servers.
We have a three-prong approach:
- All servers have redundant disks. If one disk fails, the server continues un-interrupted.
- We backup all servers nightly to an onsite backup server that keeps 5 days worth of data.
- We also backup all servers nightly to an off site backup server that overwrite every night.
Having said that... we always encourage our members to do their own backups. That's for a few reasons:
- Our backups are designed primarily for disaster recover (the entire machine goes down). We cannot provide file recovery for accidental deletions or other mistakes.
- No backup is fool proof. It's always a good idea for tripe or quadruple redundancy.
Only system administrators can restore data from a backup.
