Daily Backup |
We have not included it. Our goal is to keep your data safe; unfortunately, not all depend on us, and we need your valuable collaboration as server administrators to have success. OpenKM is not responsible for the Backup system or its proper operation. Our compromise is to help your administrator get your information safe, but your company should have its Backup policy. Take a look at the Backup best practices section. |
Yes. |
OpenKM support staff is part of the OpenKM research and development team—our engineer works with your team to solve the issue quickly. Besides the connection between the customer and the support team members resolving issues, the customer comments, questions and suggestions help us to evolve the application. Any production system down issue will be raised to the maximum priority level.
