Backup
The nature of services that OfficeLine is designed to provide requires very high data storage
reliability and readily available procedures to restore the data if needed. Therefore, OfficeLine
has a sophisticated backup system:

Â
If data become inconsistent, the database can be restored to its condition just before the
moment of failure;

Â
If the database gets lost, it is possible to restore it using a backup database and a
journal file.
This solution ensures there will be no data loss even if a technical defect (on the used
hardware) or other factor caused failure occur.
Clustering
Clustering
provides for duplication of all data on a backup server. If the main server ensuring operation of
the system fails, another server, running as a backup to the moment of failure, will automatically
assume all the main server's functions. This makes the system completely resistant to any
failure. By doubling the application servers and other hardware, it is also possible to secure all
distribution channels against failure .
Moreover, locating both servers on different locations can prevent data losses in cases of an
emergency, such as a fire.
Archiving
OfficeLine allows automatic archiving of data based on preset rules (such as the age of data).
Archived data can be viewed in the same way as current data. This ensures safe storing of older
data and provides for their future auditing.
