5.8 Backup Framework


Full Backups:
Full backups, conducted weekly on Sunday midnight, represent the cornerstone of our data protection strategy.
The retention policy, spanning 4-6 weeks, allows for a historical view of the application's state. The Recovery
Point Objective (RPO) of 1 week ensures that data loss is minimized, while the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of
8 hours underlines our commitment to swift recovery. These backups occur during the off-peak period from
Sunday midnight to Monday morning, ensuring minimal impact on regular operations.
• Frequency: Weekly on Sunday midnight.
• Retention: Keep 4-6 weeks of full backups.
• RPO (Recovery Point Objective): 1 week.
• RTO (Recovery Time Objective): 8 hours.
• Backup Time: Sunday midnight to Monday morning.

Incremental Backups:
To complement full backups, daily incremental backups occur from Monday to Saturday at midnight. Retained
for 7 days, these backups capture incremental changes, optimizing resource utilization and providing granularity
for data recovery. With an RPO of 1 day and an RTO of 4 hours, these incremental backups contribute to a
comprehensive data protection strategy. The backup window is strategically scheduled at midnight, aligning
with minimal application activity.

VM-SGH_CAFMTEK_126 Rev: 01 Issued: May 2024 Page 128 of 130


• Frequency: Daily (Monday to Saturday) at midnight.
• Retention: Keep 7 days of incremental backups.
• RPO: 1 day.
• RTO: 4 hours.
• Backup Time: Daily midnight.

5.9 Testing and restoration


Regular testing and restoration exercises are pivotal in ensuring the efficacy of our backup strategy. Monthly
test restorations on the first Saturday of each month validate the viability of our backups and the integrity of
the restoration process. Quarterly full system restoration drills provide simulated scenarios for recovering the
entire application, refining our readiness for comprehensive recovery efforts. Bi-annual reviews of
documentation ensure that procedures remain up-to-date and aligned with the evolving needs of the
application.
• Test Restoration: Monthly on the first Saturday of the month.
• Full System Restoration Drill: Quarterly.
• Documentation Review and Update: Bi-annually.

5.9 Monitoring and Maintenance


Continuous monitoring of system health and backup jobs is imperative for the early detection of anomalies or
failures. Real-time alerts for deviations from the expected behavior, combined with daily checks at 8 AM for the
previous day's backup logs, enable proactive intervention and timely resolution of issues. This meticulous
approach ensures the ongoing health and effectiveness of our backup strategy.
• Continuous monitoring with real-time alerts for failures or anomalies.
• Daily check at 8 AM for the previous day's backup logs.

Monthly audits of backup logs and storage usage serve as a crucial mechanism for assessing the performance
and efficiency of our backup strategy. An annual review and update of the backup strategy ensure its continued
alignment with organizational goals, technological advancements, and any changes in the application's
structure. This iterative process allows us to adapt and enhance our strategy in response to the evolving
landscape of web-based applications.
• Monthly audit of backup logs and storage usage.
• Annual review and update of the backup strategy.

5.10 Disaster Recovery


In the event of a disaster, our plan activation process involves the immediate initiation of the disaster recovery
plan. This plan outlines the steps to be taken to restore the application to operational status within the
stipulated RTO of 24 hours, minimizing the impact of the incident on our operations. The disaster recovery plan
is regularly reviewed and updated to incorporate lessons learned from testing and real-world incidents,
ensuring its continued effectiveness.
• Plan Activation: In the event of a disaster, initiate the disaster recovery plan immediately.

VM-SGH_CAFMTEK_126 Rev: 01 Issued: May 2024 Page 129 of 130


• Full System Recovery: Aim to complete full system recovery within 24 hours.

5.11 Offsite Backup Copies


To bolster our resilience against regional disasters, we update offsite copies of our backups every Sunday
morning. Stored in geographically diverse locations, these offsite copies provide an additional layer of
protection, ensuring that our data remains secure and recoverable even in the face of site-wide disruptions. The
offsite backup copies strategy is continuously refined based on the organization's risk assessment and
geographical considerations.

5.12 Retention
Effective data retention is crucial for managing storage resources and ensuring compliance with organizational
policies. Each category of backup has a defined retention period:

Full Backups: Retained for 4-6 weeks.

Full backups, taken weekly on Sunday midnight, capture a comprehensive snapshot of the application's data
and configurations. Retaining these backups for 4-6 weeks provides a historical range for recovery, allowing us
to restore the system to various points in time within this window.
Incremental Backups: Retained for 7 days.

Daily incremental backups, captured from Monday to Saturday at midnight, focus on changes made since the
last full or incremental backup. A retention period of 7 days strikes a balance between resource efficiency and
the need for fine-grained recovery.
Database Backups (Full and Incremental): Retained for 4-6 weeks.

Full database backups, aligned with full backups, and incremental database backups, synchronized with
incremental backups, together ensure the comprehensive recovery of both application data and underlying
database structures. A retention period of 4-6 weeks aligns with the timeframe deemed necessary for historical
data restoration.
Configuration Files and Application Code: Retained for 4-6 weeks.

Weekly backups of configuration files and application code, mirroring the schedule of full backups, safeguard
not only the data but also the essential configurations and codebase. Retaining these backups for 4-6 weeks
ensures the availability of a recent and comprehensive set of configurations and code for restoration.
• Full Backups: Retained for 4-6 weeks.
• Incremental Backups: Retained for 7 days.
• Database Backups (Full and Incremental): Retained for 4-6 weeks.
