Question OPDC-09

If your system is delivered as a physical appliance, do you provide a mechanism for an institution to export and backup configurations and data automatically?

Standard Guidance

EDUCAUSE provides no guidance here

Answering "NO"

Summarize why the institution cannot extract a full backup of its configuration and data.

Answering "YES"

Describe frequency and procedures for obtaining a full backup of data.

Reason for Question

Because the software/product/service is on-premise, institutional responsibilities for data/system management must be clear. The institution is its own best advocate and thus may want more control over data location, intervals, etc.

Follow-Up Inquiries

Follow-up inquiries for institution responsibility details will be institution/implementation specific.
