Backup & Restore module · Communication & admin

School data backup and restore, without a server in the office

Set up backup profiles, run backups on a schedule or on demand, and restore from an archive when you need to. Devzin hosts the platform, so there is no school server to babysit.

Included in Orbit at no extra cost, along with every other module.

Why it matters

What changes when Backup & Restore moves into Orbit

Without Orbit
  • Years of records sit on one office PC, with no copy anywhere else.
  • Nobody knows when the last backup actually ran.
  • Restoring data means calling a vendor and hoping.
With Orbit
  • A recent copy, always. There is always a recent backup to fall back on.
  • Visible history. Logs show exactly when each backup ran.
  • No school server. Devzin hosts Orbit, so your IT team doesn't run hardware.
In practice

Checking the backups before results day

The school has a nightly backup profile and runs a manual backup before any big change, such as publishing results. The execution log shows when each one ran and whether it completed.

If something ever needs to be recovered, an admin uploads the archive and follows a guided restore session. Only admins and super admins can do this, and Devzin runs the hosting underneath.
