of the core questions that must be asked is “how much data can you afford to lose”? This provides guidance on how often data should be backed up. In general, most organizations cannot afford to lose very much in the way of learning records. Therefore, backups should be frequent. At Marine Learning Systems our backup policy ensures that no more than 15 minutes of data could ever be lost. And in practice, a failure would result in a loss window which is typically much smaller. To ensure this, automated backups are taken every 15 minutes, or more frequently, and are immediately transferred to
