To prevent data loss and ensure that the system can always be restored quickly, we have chosen to implement an automated backup system. The best option is to create a daily backup of the system and send it to an external server.
Why did we choose this option?
- Prevents data loss: If something goes wrong, we will always have a recent backup of the system to recover it without losing important information.
- Automated: The backup will be done every day at 11:45 AM without the need for manual intervention.
- Stored in a secure location: Instead of relying on a USB device, backups will be stored on an external server through a secure connection.
- Doesn’t take up much space: Only the backups from the last 7 days will be kept, with the oldest ones being automatically deleted.
- Secure and efficient: The connection to the server will use SSH keys, preventing human errors and protecting the data.
With this policy, we ensure that, no matter what happens, there will always be a reliable backup to easily recover the system.
