Policy Statement
It is KS’s policy to ensure that information is protected from loss of:
1 – Virtual Machines
All VM’s hosted in KSClouds environment are backed up using Veeam backup and replication. These are backed up to a NAS device not attached to the KSCloud network to help prevent the spread of malware or other threats.
These backups are kept for three days before they are overwritten.
2 – Photography
The KS system will backup photography work as soon as it’s detected on our servers. This uploaded to our Backup Service Provider Wasabi. Our retention policy for our photography is indefinite. This will allow us to restore work for customers if they require it.
We backup the Master files (RAW’s) and the exported files.
If you require your work to be backed up by us, please contact customer.services@kieransaul.co.uk with your shoot ID and we can remove it from our backup.
3 – ksCloud Shared Web Hosting Servers
All websites hosting inside the KS Shared hosting platform are regularly backed up each night to external providers. We backup the following from these servers:
These backups are stored for 7 days before being deleted/overwritten.
