Backup Profiles

Backup Profiles defines the institution's backup jobs -- target storage, schedule, retention and what to include -- so the core-banking database is captured reliably and can be restored after an incident. It records when each backup last ran and whether it succeeded, giving administrators confidence the institution's member and ledger data is protected. For a regulated financial institution, dependable backups are a baseline control.

Workflow

Open MFI Ops > Backup > Backup Profiles
Click New and name the backup profile
Set the destination storage and credentials
Define the schedule and retention policy
