Preservation policy

The information present in the “Portal de Revistas de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo” is preserved in different digital supports on a daily and weekly basis. The supports used for the “backup copy” are hard disks and space in the cloud. Backup copy on hard disks: two different hard disks located in the same server are used. This copy is made on one of the hard disks and in the cloud every 24 hours, without compression, except for the database copy, and without encryption. On a weekly basis, the content of this hard disk is copied to the second hard disk. The database, the web tree of the OJS system and the pdf files of the journal articles are stored for copying to the google cloud. The OJS system has a built-in tool for exporting articles and/or issues so that the managers of each journal can make a copy of them whenever they prefer. This provides an extra level of data protection, independent of the programming and physical resources described in this document.
