Revision history [back]

First request of many im sure. Basically I’m looking at our systems, especially in terms of backup and holding soft copy files. And looking to ensure we have a solid system, if our assets are confiscated. This is a technology query really. Situation: At the moment, most of the staff are roving, which means that we all have different versions of the same files; and only share when we see each other, or when we have meetings. We also do not have any backup procedures apart from a monthly/regular cut of laptop harddrives, by an external IT provider. We have one server at the capital office, and a total of 3 other field sites. Secondly with the government situation as it is, we don’t know if our assets will be confiscated at any point. I wanted to know, what procedures other organizations have in place to minimize loses in data? And secondly how can we ensure we have the most up-to-date information? Is it worth looking into file transfer sites, or are there any other mechanisms of ensuring information is not lost? Due to the sensitivity of the query, I would prefer if my name and organisation was removed from the query.
