I shall make use of non-departmental equipment in this project. In order to prevent the loss of data, the following backup strategies will be implemented:
Both the sources for the software and the LaTeX and DocBook sources for the documentation are kept under CVS control. This enables easy recovery from mistakes. The CVS tree is kept on a different machine from the development one; this way, the most recent stable version of the work is kept on two different machines
The CVS tree is backed up nightly on removable media, which is kept in a different place (albeit in the same residence) from the main computer.
The entire CVS tree is mirrored every night into my DCS account. This is done automatically. Also, a weekly snapshot of the sources is uploaded onto the project website (hosted by Freeserve)
