The designated person will take weekly and monthly tapes to offsite storage. 8.2 The Employee All business critical data on local computer and notebook hard drives must be copied or moved to a My Documents share on a file server, where it will be backed up. Where such an action is not possible, as in cases where it is done away from access to Maruleng Local Municipality network, the data must be copied over on the first available opportunity. It will be the sole responsibility of the employee, under all circumstances, to backup and maintain security regarding personal data. In addition to workstations, employees have been allocated space per user, secured per user logon ID, on the File-servers.
