While the operation, administration and maintenance (OA&M) of the digitalCLINIC™ System will employ procedures and safeguards designed to avoid situations where a complete loss of processing capability is sustained, it is also recognized that events beyond the reasonable ability of the OA&M organization to predict or avoid can occur precipitating a disaster. The design of the digitalCLINIC™ and its operating procedures must facilitate the execution of a sound disaster recovery plan by:

•  Promoting the collection and preservation of data necessary to support recovery
•  Enabling the configuration of new equipment and reconfiguration of network components to support restoration of service on replacement equipment at a substitute site
•  Supporting the rapid restoration of data and verification of its integrity while minimizing data loss

System Backups

Information is one of the most important assets of a company. Therefore, availability of data and protection against data loss is one of the most critical issues for system managers to address. These features are more and more important as data is spread out across a heterogeneous network.

Backup/restore utilities are required to reduce the system manager's task of archiving data. These utilities provide users with more control over archiving and retrieval of their files.

This team will recommend a back-up strategy which employs incremental database back-ups (usually in 15 minute intervals). Secondary backups will be performed on a nightly basis. These backups will be triggered automatically and each day an administrator (trained PC user) will be required to switch the tape. Incremental backups should be performed during the week with a full backup performed once a week. There should be five tapes for the incremental backups, labeled Monday through Friday and one tape for the full weekly backup which could run over the weekend automatically. The tape with the full backup should be stored off-site.

In the event that a file or database server should fail, the proposed system architecture employs both "Clustering / Fail-Over" and Network Load Balancing capabilities. In addition to these capabilities, both hardware redundancy as well as established hardware maintenance agreements will supplement system support.
