MIS and Administration Backups

  • What does it do?

  • What are the benefits?
  • FAQ
Our basic package will cover a single MIS/SIMS/FMS installation and allow backups of up to 10Gb of school data to a secure location.
The packages also come with a number of plugin options specific to individual products such as Capita SIMS & FMS Applications and also network shares to allow key administration folders to be backed up.
The backups are taken overnight and are completely invisible to school staff. Your data is encrypted and transferred over the Internet to a UK Data Center based in Slough.
Once your data has been transferred, it is encrypted again to a higher level for storage and then it is copied or 'mirrored' to a second Data Center based in Reading so there will always be two copies of your backup.
Capita's approved online backup for SIMS/FMS Systems
Off-site Disaster Recovery
All data is encrypted before it leaves the school site
30-60 days of individual backups plus 2 'monthly' backups gives 3-4 months of backups in total
No data security risk in losing tapes or USB devices
All data is encrypted on disk and stored in UK data centers
Fully automatic backup - no intervention required by School staff
My Internet connection is not very fast. Will this be OK?
Absolutely. Our backup solution relies on a single backup of you data being taken and stored online. After that first backup has been completed, the system then relies on what we call block level, change only updates. This means that if you amend a policy document or your prospectus then it doesn't copy the whole document offsite but only the part of the document that has actually changed. The backup system also uses compression to squeeze the data smaller before the transfer. Only backing up the data that has changed means that '10Gb' of data (or actually the changes made that day to 10Gb of data) can be backed up in 15-20 minutes even over a 2Mbps ADSL connection and this all happens automatically.
So how do I get my data back?
You can either restore or 'download' individual files or folders from your online storage or, in the event of something more serious, your entire online data set can be couriered to your site on a disk for a local restore rather than relying on your Internet connection.

The backups are taken overnight and are completely invisible to school staff. Your data is encrypted and transferred over the Internet to a EU Data Center based in Dublin.
Once your data has been transferred, it is encrypted again to a higher level for storage. Within EduTech supported schools, this is a complimentary offsite backup to your existing 60 day disk based backup.
