Backup

This documentation outlines the backup strategy implemented in Omnidocs Create, focusing on how the platform ensures data integrity and availability using the native backup features of Microsoft Azure and MongoDB. It covers the backup procedures for both the platform configuration and the content, which may reside in various service providers such as SharePoint or Documotor.

Overview of Backup Strategy
Omnidocs Create utilizes a comprehensive backup strategy to protect both configuration settings and user content. This strategy relies on robust, automated tools provided by Azure and MongoDB to minimize data loss and ensure quick recovery in case of an outage or other data loss incidents.

Configuration Backup:
The configuration data of Omnidocs Create, which encompasses settings specifically tailored for each organization's usage of the platform, is backed up using MongoDB's native backup capabilities. This includes all parameters and customization settings that dictate the operational framework for users. 

Database Backup:
MongoDB, managing the database component of Omnidocs Create, performs full backups every 6 hours. These backups are essential for maintaining the integrity and availability of the data stored within the platform. The frequent backup interval ensures that any potential data loss can be minimized, as the restoration process will always have a recent snapshot from which to recover.

Backup Storage:
The backups made by MongoDB are stored securely within the same Azure region as the primary data storage. This not only simplifies compliance with data residency requirements but also speeds up the recovery process, as the data does not need to traverse large geographical distances.

Recovery Process:
In the event of a data loss or corruption, Omnidocs is equipped to perform a quick recovery using the latest backups. The recovery process is designed to be as seamless as possible, with minimal downtime and impact on end users.

Content Backup:
Content backup in Omnidocs Create depends on the service provider chosen for content management, such as SharePoint or Documotor.
