Backup
By default, the inVia system creates a task in the job processing system to take backups on an hourly basis. This is customizable, dependent on the needs of the customer.
The inVia system keeps a limited number of backups on disk. The minimum size for a disk backup is 50 GB, and the minimum number of copies is two. The backup is transmitted to inVia S3-hosted storage after the current backup task is complete. This could be useful in the event of a complete system outage.
The S3 storage is protected, and no client information is exchanged.
These offsite backups are kept for 90 days and then archived.
Restore
When a restore operation is required due to a system function failure, the S3 storage backup is used if backup storage is not available on the disk to do the restore.
The restoration copies are sanity-checked for data validity on a random basis.
After the system is restored, inVia does a system check to ensure that services are correctly restored.
