The etrainu backup policy covers three areas:
LMS
etrainu databases are backed up using AWS’s Relational Data Service (RDS) and MongoDB Atlas PaaS built in features. In the event of a disaster, RDS database instances can be restored to a specific point in time within 5 minutes using AWS’s RDS service and to within 6 hours for MongoDB Atlas’s service. Daily backups are created for each database and kept for 15 days.

Course files are version controlled using a version control system and stored remotely in Atlassian’s Bitbucket service.
The etrainu technology platform is largely stateless. The primary LMS servers’ storage volumes are backed up nightly however and used to restore the server in the event of a disaster. Other completely stateless application servers can be recovered via the automated build process which allows these to be rapidly rebuilt in the event of a disaster.
