<br />
<br />
We often get asked how we store data, how is it kept safe? These questions are answered in our [[GDPR]] section, but here is a brief explanation...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* When you click the 'Save' icon or exit the program, ReportComplete will attempt to send the data to Server 1.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*If, after a couple of retries, it can't send data to Server 1, it swaps and attempts to save the data to Server 2. It will stay with Server 2 unless it needs to swap back to Server 1 or the user restarts the program.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* The two server system means that we can perform maintenance on either server knowing that users can still save and access their work.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* Both Server 1 and Server 2 save to/load from the same database server. We can increase resources to any of the servers independently depending on how busy they are.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* Each night, a secure backup server make a full copy of the data contained within the database server.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* A compressed copy is made from the secure backup server as an additional secure offsite backup.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* Administrators can also make a [[GDPR backups|GDPR backup]] of the school data for their own use.</div>Anthony
