Mojohost

Backups of the Mojo servers are performed by Mojo and they have said that:

It creates full backups and then creates incrementals. After some period it refreshes the full backup. Two full backups and three incrementals are retained. The configurations are the same for all of your servers.
It is possible to restore the whole system as well as individual file/directory.
The backups are stored on another server in the same phyiscal location.
Backups are taken once a week.
We have a script that creates backup of the databases. These DB backups are located in directory:
/backup/mysql/
It creates 2 backups. One at 00:15 and another one at 12:15.

S3 Backups

There are 3 S3 buckets that act as backups for use as part of our Disaster Recovery Plan, these are:

Bucket	Description
ot-mojo-db-backup	The twice-daily database backups of which there should be 7 days worth kept (14 files)
ot-mojo-sites-backup	A once a day copy of various “code” directories on the server. This is a straight copy, no file rotation or retention and files deleted on the server will be deleted from here. This includes files from CS3311 (misc. server) and CS3551 (WEB2). The likes of the portals, CRM, OTCash, OC, OM, tease-pics, etc… can be found here. There is a copy of the HTTPD configuration for both CS3311 and CS3551 here.
tss-s3-storage-backup	A once a week copy of all the “content” files for the sites, so mostly the photo sets, videos and zip files.
