Data Backup Terms

The IQSS Dataverse Network maintains a full backup of all data and directories on the Network for 6 months, in the Harvard Depository. This means that there always is a full, offsite copy of the Network that is less than 7 months old.

Backup Schedule

On Mondays, any files changed since the last full back up are backed up. On other days, only the files changed since the last incremental back up are backed up.

Full back ups also are performed administratively on an as-needed basis.
