From time to time we need to do things or check on things. This is the official list.

Daily

If you are lucky, there will be no daily maintenance. Currently at our site, we must

  • do DOCK license approvals
  • do docking.org account approvals
  • check for disk full conditions

Weekly

  • run weekly Backups on Friday evening.

Monthly

  • check disk consoles and system logs for failed disks. replace if necessary

Quarterly

  • run quarterly Backups starting on the first day of the quarter. Take backup off site.

Annually

  • renew SSL certificates
  • check on domain name renewals
