• Of course you need backups
• Accidental data loss requires retention of incremental backups
• Theft and natural disasters requires offsite backups
• Fraud may require point-in-time backups
Mitigating These Risks

A story of good technology, with, unfortunately, bad processes, and insufficiently skilled personnel
![Page 11: Cloud Backup Solutions for Your Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55556c69b4c9055f5f8b4701/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Their Data Center had:• Cabling not just
unlabeled, but laying on the floor
• Dot matrix print spewing printer dust into the servers
• Cardboard boxes on top and next to server racks limiting ventilation
• And an enterprise class backup system that cost a lot of money, but failed every day
![Page 12: Cloud Backup Solutions for Your Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55556c69b4c9055f5f8b4701/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Backing Up Critical Parish Information
• Weekly backups to a separate medium
• Weekly QuickBooks backup procedures
• Monthly offsite backups
• Quarterly verifications
• No, the diocese isn’t responsible
• Keep Quickbooks current

IT General Controls
• Good processes start with documenting them and end with testing them
• IT General Controls come in two flavors and you need both:
• Preventative Controls – Controls that prevent failures
• Detective Controls – Controls that detect failure in other controls.

Cloud-based Backup SolutionsPros:By definition, your backups
are “off-site”Pay as you go; pay as you
growSimple to useSetup and forget about it
(both good & bad)One file / one subdirectory
restores are a breeze
Cons:- 1st Full Backup could take
weeks- Restores will take longer- Need to do the math on
the pay as you go service costs
- May drive upgrades to bandwidth
- Trust is a perceived issue- Can cause account /
password proliferation

Three Cloud-Based Strategies
• Barebones – Just protect what’s absolutely critical
• i.e. Quickbooks DB, CMS DB/Backups, My Documents Folder
• Hybrid – Your Cloud Backup isn’t you’re only backup
• Fully In the Cloud – All backups are based in the cloud

BarebonesJust backup critical files
• My Documents folder• Quickbooks (*.qbw)• Church Management System backups
• Some CMS come with their own cloud backup solution (i.e. ParishSoft’s Parishbackup.com)
• Cloud Solutions:• Google Drive – 1st 15 Gigs Free• Dropbox – 2 Gig Free, 100 Gig = $99/ year
• Challenges:• Account proliferation and control• No Centralized Management – Dropbox for
Business $750/year for 5 users

Hybrid
• Local and Cloud-based Storage

Email• Unfortunately, most church mailboxes already are
backed up in the cloud
• Cloud solutions are great, but it’s the mishmash of @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, and heaven’s forbid, @aol.com that I struggle with
• Alternatives:
• Google Apps for Non-Profits – Its free for churches, reduced cost for schools
• Diocese email programs• LPi’s WeConnect program - $2/mailbox/month

The Wrap UP• Just because you can’t see the backup devices
doesn’t mean you shouldn’t trust them.
• However, as this saying goes, trust by verify
• Verify through documented policies and procedures and periodic control tests.
• Talk to each other; that the mission of DISC
• And help your churches, if you think you’re confused with the options imagine how that jack-of-all-trades support person is in the church.
