PUBLICATION PRESERVATION

ARQUISUR Revista is preserved in different digital media, daily and weekly. These backup copies are made on hard drives and magnetic tapes.

a) Backup copy on hard drives. Two disks configured with a RAID 1 scheme are used. Another copy is made to a remote backup server that is in a different physical location than the primary SPP server. This copy is made every 12 hours, without compression and/or encryption.

b) Backup copies on magnetic tape. There are two schemes: daily and weekly backup copy.

  • Daily backup copy on magnetic tape: a total backup copy of the SPP is made every 24 hours. For this process, there are a total of 18 different magnetic tapes in a rotating scheme. One magnetic tape is used per day, and the magnetic tape that has the oldest backup copy is overwritten. It gives a total backup time of up to 25 days back.
  • Weekly backup copy on magnetic tape: each week (every Saturday) another complete backup copy is made on magnetic tape. For this, there are 10 magnetic tapes in a rotating scheme. Each new backup copy is made on the magnetic tape that contains the oldest copy, which gives a total backup time of up to 64 days back.

Files on magnetic tape are stored in ZIP format and compressed by the backup management system. In the event of a possible failure of the magnetic tape reading/writing equipment, two reading and recording devices are used that can be exchanged.

The magnetic tapes of both the daily and weekly backup copies are kept inside a fireproof container (safe).

  • Database backup: a daily backup copy (dump) of the system database and a backup copy of the entire database engine with a failover capability of up to 5 minutes prior to the fall are applied. Additionally, the database server is replicated on two nodes that have RAID 1.
