Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 May 2021
470. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if there is a policy of data back-up in the operations of his Department and all agencies under his remit. [28120/21]
View answerMy Department’s IT backup arrangements are that frequently-changing data is backed-up nightly, infrequently-changing data is backed-up weekly, and both types are also stored offsite on encrypted tape media.
The information in respect of state bodies, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the linked document, should the Deputy wish to contact the aegis bodies directly.
