A. CamCORS is hosted and maintained, under a Service Level Agreement with the Colleges, by the University’s Management Information Services Division. The CamCORS system is composed of two basic components, the front-end web application and a back-end database. Overnight from Monday to Friday both components are copied to a remote server, then transferred to tape. Daily tapes are kept for one month, and month end tapes for a year, with all tapes stored in a fireproof safe located remotely from the servers. To allow for Disaster Recovery, should a major incident occur at the primary site, a copy of both the application and database is maintained on remotely located servers, with the database being refreshed every 15 minutes.
