CLAS IT provides data backup and recovery of virtual servers and user data on shared drives. Backups are made every 12 hours for the two main file servers, every two hours for the Web servers, all other servers backed up as required depending on their purpose. User data is archived for 3 months after a file is deleted. A replica of the current data is also stored in Atlanta for the purposes of disaster recovery.
Recovery of a deleted or corrupted file can be performed by the user within seven days of deletion or corruption. (See How to Recover Files and Folders in Home Drives). For files that were deleted or have been corrupted for more than seven days, recovery is initiated by a customer by ticket, and recovery is done by CLAS IT personnel..
Recovery of an unrecoverable damaged / non-working server is initiated by either a customer ticket with confirmation of server status or by CLAS IT personnel.
