Critical File Backup

 

The UNC Shared Services Alliance Hosting Service provides participating University of North Carolina System Campuses with core backup and data replication services of five critical data service areas within their campus. The critical data service areas are following:

  • ERP
  • Email
  • Web
  • Content Management
  • Portal

 

The Shared Services Alliance provides installation, upgrades, capacity planning, monitoring, and management of the disk based replication system for the critical file backups in a central hosted environment. For participating campuses, assistance in monitoring campus level backups scheduled to be replicated, can also be provisioned.

 

This service provides the reliability in having a second level of DR protection for recovering data already backed up on campus, in the event that the campus backed up data or critical server data is unavailable, no longer usable, or inaccessible due to an outage.
