Commissioners approve renewal of county Veeam backup service; staff to review long‑term backup strategy
Summary
County staff secured approval to renew the Veeam backup service (renewal exceeded $10,000); commissioners directed IT and staff to develop a multi‑year backup plan for fiscal‑year 2026 budgeting.
County IT staff requested approval to renew the county’s Veeam data‑backup subscription, which recently crossed a $10,000 threshold that requires commissioner authorization.
Staff explained the service backs up county systems (excluding certain recording systems) at a frequent cadence and preserves mirror data to support recovery if systems are compromised. The request noted the service performs automatic backups multiple times per day and provides a mirror for data recovery.
Commissioners approved the renewal and directed staff to return with an annual plan that consolidates recurring renewals and clarifies which systems are included, and encouraged the IT department to explore alternate backup solutions for 2026 budgeting.
