Backups

As the number of orders in Annapurna have increased (we have some customers with nearly two years of orders) then the back up time has lengthened.

In order to reduce this, we have introduced the concept of a full and partial backup. You will notice the backup question has now changed. The full backup runs as now and is the default on Fridays.  The partial back up only differs with regards to orders ie it backs up everything as now except for the orders. Only the orders entered in the past 90 days are backed up in the partial backup.

Please note the Annapurna back up are NOT a substitute for arrange a proper backup on the server.  This is the belt in "belt and braces", you should still organise the braces.

With the advent of cloud solutions such as dropbox, it is also a good idea to point the Annapurna backup at a dropbox (or equivalent) folder and then this will give security in the knowledge that this is backed. 

We are currently looking at integrating a cloud backup which it is hoped to release shortly.
