Backup Policies
-
Snapshots are taken at the array level, nightly.
- Snapshots done on the array are resilient, but not redundant.
- Data is not copied to a second array by default.
- Snapshots are kept for a maximum of 2 weeks.
-
All data is kept on-site and is not replicated to secondary storage.
