Backing up your Database |
Important information about your Encryption Key |
HITS goes live |
|---|---|---|
| Now that you have submitted your final 2012 data it's the perfect time to back up your HEPCAT database. For help with this process go to our HEPCAT user guide. The department cannot replace your database if it is lost, deleted or corrupted. | Your encryption key must be securely stored at all times. It may not be copied or used by unauthorised personnel. Losing or compromising your encryption key can have a number of serious impacts. | In our last eNews we told you about the new HELP IT system (HITS) which will replace the current VET IT system (VITS) from late May 2013. To keep up to date contact the department and request the latest newsletter. |
