Does your organisation take regular backups of its digital production data in line with current best practise guidelines?

Commonplace is able to restore the database to any point in time to the nearest minute, by a continuous transaction log of all database activity. This log enables us recover data to a specific time, down to a single minute accuracy.

Recovery point objective = 1 minute

Recovery time objective = 4 hours

In addition, as a further precaution we perform regular snapshopt backups of all data, based on the following schedule

  • Every 12 hours, retained for 1 day

  • Every week, retained for 4 weeks

  • Every month, retained for 12 months

The backup and restore process is tested on a regular basis as part of our normal business operations. All data in the backups is encrypted.

Backups can not be restored by customers, these would be performed by our platform engineering team, once a request has been considered and approved.

Backups are stored in separate AWS backup vaults, which are kept on separate network from the production systems.
