Daily Tasks (Or Weekly)
Check verification reports (or build a workflow to do it for you)
Check the Windows or Hyland event logs for any errors, warnings, and even unexpected information entries (or find a tool to notify you automatically of these occurrences)
Weekly Tasks
Verify Database and disk groups were backed up to tape.
Check to confirm that files have the “A” attribute
Ask your backup team how big the OnBase-related backups are, it should be increasing regularly.
Ensure Virtual machines application and/or database servers are being backed up. If physical machines are present, make sure you have a backup for these machines in case disaster were to occur so that you maintain business continuity.
Confirm that you have sufficient free disk space on all servers including the Database server, and always ensure at least 3 or more GB (recommended) is available as it usage could spike at any time, especially on a database server.
Check all DIP/COLD/Input folders for any files or folders and ensure these are empty.
Monthly Tasks
Verify all Database maintenance plans are still operating with the time window expectations.
Check Database and disk group sizes and forecast when additional storage might be needed.
Analyze recent disk group volumes to ensure all files are present and compare byte-wise to 2nd and 3rd copies (if utilized). Also, ensure all files are valid (Scheduling Platter Management).
