    11 == How do I backup? ==
    12 MFPL already backs up your data, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't also prepare your own backups.
     11== How do I backup my MF/PL data to protect myself from data loss? ==
     12MFPL already backs up the web pages, email, databases, and other data that you store on our servers, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't also prepare your own backups!

     14We use a three-prong approach to backup MF/PL member data:
    1515* All servers have redundant disks. If one disk fails, the server continues un-interrupted.
    1616* We backup all servers nightly to an onsite backup server that keeps 5 days worth of data.
    1717* We also backup all servers nightly to an off site backup server that overwrite the previous days backup every night.

    19 Why members should backup their own data:
     19However, there are good reasons for MF/PL members to create their own additional backups:
    2020* Our backups are designed primarily for disaster recover (the entire machine goes down). We cannot provide file recovery for accidental deletions or other mistakes.
    2121* No backup is fool proof. It's always a good idea for triple or quadruple redundancy.
     
    32321. ''[https://support.mayfirst.org/newticket Open a support ticket].'' We receive immediate notice of any new support requests. In all cases, you can expect a response from us right away.
