Event data must be backed up daily using your company’s normal backup systems and disaster recovery procedures.

Recommended Frequency: Daily

Insight Server begins new log files at 12:00 AM GMT daily. Adobe recommends that you backup log files every day shortly after 12:00 AM GMT so that you capture all of the data from the previous day. For example, backing up all log files at 12:05 AM GMT on December 15th captures all of the data from December 14th. Insight Server does not need to be stopped during log file backups, and all functionality remains available.

Backing Up Integration, Operating System, Output, and System Data

Recommended Frequency: Daily

Integration, operating system, output, and system data must be backed up regularly and diligently using your company’s normal backup and disaster recovery systems.
