Storage of Council Data
Document Management System
Staff have an obligation under the Records Management Policy to register all corporate information in Council’s Electronic Document Management system ECM. This is the
preferred location for storing, accessing, sharing & distribution of corporate information.
Personal Network Drive
Each staff member has their own personal H Drive. This directory should be used as a Working Directory ONLY, and to store personal documents like Timesheets. Data stored in this drive is accessible by the owner only.
General Network Drive
Council has a number of legacy general data drives. Data placed on these drives is accessible by all staff. Every effort should be made to store data in ECM instead of these drives.
Backup & Recovery
Data is backed up nightly allowing for the retrieval of deleted or corrupted data that has a lifetime of at least 24 hours. A service request can be submitted to request a restore of data.
