Centralized data Backup

Centralized_data.mdb and PHI.mdb live on an eHealth server and so are backed up by them (#eHealth file shares). We also created dated snapshot backups every time the data processor pulls data as part of vetting and then pushes it again. For details, see

culling

Template:Discussion right now this process has generated over 100GB of dated files. We need to decide how to cull. I think I have this elsewhere on this wiki as well... I can't think of a good automated process for now, so I propose:

  • for a month, keep the latest file each day
  • for a year, keep on file on days that divide by 10 (eg May 20).
  • forever, keep the last one per year.

Trish, is that OK?
