Common use of Initial Data Collection Clause in Contracts

Initial Data Collection. The primary method of backup is over the WAN circuit between the C-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-CLIENT and the C-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-SYSTEM at Centre’s datacenter. However, in situations where the initial backup volume makes a network transfer impractical, Centre will perform an initial backup on a portable drive and transport the physical media to the Data Center. Where it is appropriate for Centre to manually transport the initial backup data, the process will involve connecting a removable/portable hard-disk location on the client premises to the C-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-CLIENT via a LAN connection. Initial backups are performed to this removable/portable hard-disk location until a mutually agreed-upon time when the removable/portable hard-disk device is disconnected from the LAN and transported back to the Data Centre. Once at the Data Center, the data residing on the removable/portable hard-disk device is imported into the C-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-SYSTEM and incremental backups between the C-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-SYSTEM and the C-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-CLIENT can occur on a regular basis (either scheduled or on-demand). The initial backup is the only circumstance where a full backup is performed, after which, all other backups are incremental (incremental forever).
