Hyperion System Maintenance Schedules
Once all documents are captured, it is vitally important that an off-line backup regimen be established. An image backup should be made regularly, capturing both the digital documents and the bibliographic records that refer to those documents. All of this data should be stored in an off-site location for disaster recovery purposes. Between each image backup, incremental backups should be done on a daily basis. This will prevent the loss of vital information. The frequency of backing up is determined by firm guidelines, standard procedures, and user requirements.
