Data Integrity

Data integrity is a critical security requirement. The data backup procedure is an integral part of this requirement.

PPM does not provide backup capabilities. Following are some important considerations:

  • Backup is especially important before critical actions such as project upgrade. See Administer Project and Portfolio Management for details.
  • Backup files should be stored properly according to the industry best practices to avoid unauthorized access.
  • Since data backup consumes lots of resources, it is strongly recommended to avoid running backups during peak demand times.

Note: When backing up the database, ensure that the attachments and configuration files are backed up at the same time to reflect the same system state.
