What measures will be taken to ensure that eOPF data will not be lost?
OPM will be managing the eOPF system for all participating federal government agencies. Nightly incremental system backups will be conducted, which include all new documents and any related information added on a given day. Full system-wide backups will occur weekly. Both backups are placed on backup tapes in an encrypted format and are stored off-site from the hosting facility. These steps will ensure that the system and data can be restored in the event of a disaster.
