Design a Backup plan
First World Bank Savings and Loans IT task team will be responsible for designing a backup plan for all servers on First world banks network.
All servers on the network, owned by First World Bank, will be backed up each day at 2:30 am. There will be a designated on site server, and also an off site server. This better protects the data, by storing a backup configuration on site and off site as part of the disaster recovery plan.
A third party will be used for cloud storage( of site backup) . The company First World Bank has chosen is a company called Barracuda. The Barracuda Backup appliance lets administrators quickly automate policies for backup and recovering servers and applications to regulations such as FINRA, HIPAA and others. If disaster strikes, the Barracuda Backup restores applications servers and files effortlessly. The Barracuda Backup will have servers back in operation and all files restored in an efficient and timely manner, much faster than standard backup methods. For disaster recovery, the Barracuda Backup maintains duplicate copies of backed up data.
First world bank savings and loans will also have on on site server that will be used for disaster recovery, but is more ideal for single server, or service failure. The offsite Backup server will better resolve full network failure, and disaster situations such as tornadoes, hurricanes, fires and flooding.
The backups will be stored using the TFTP service. The servers will be backed up to the Backup server with specific device names and dates, therefore when one server fails you can pull the specific filename from the server. The apache web server for instance: The device has been named FWBSLAPACHE. Every day at 2:30 am, a backup will automatically be sent via TFTP to the Back Up server. The Apache web server will store the filename as such: FWBSAPACHE_08242013.cfg
