Schreibnet Technology LLC has provided a custom programming solution to Christ Lutheran Church in Cleveland to assure the church's administration of data continuity in case of disaster.
The church uses a common membership management program that is feature rich in many areas, but the data backup function is quite plain. You are only allowed to backup the database to the root directory on locally attached devices. Leaving the default choice of C:\ as the backup destination is problematic, as we've discussed in a prior post. If something were to happen to that drive, the data and the backup would be lost. If something were to happen to the office, the data and the backup would be lost. There's not a lot of options for the church secretary to ensure the data is safe, and frankly, the secretary shouldn't have to worry about these things.
Enter Schreibnet Technology LLC. We wrote a small program that creates a backup of the church's membership database files and sends them off site via the Internet for safe keeping. Now there is a complete backup and data retention structure in place. Weekly backups are retained for a month, the end-of-month backup is retained for a year, and an annual backup will be retained for three years at Schreibnet's climate-controlled data center.
Schreibnet Technology LLC is a company that provides hardware and software installation, troubleshooting, custom software solutions, and many other IT services for home users and small businesses/organizations with IT needs.
