2. How often can back-up be performed?
Mostly database backups are performed daily (evenings). Host Server backups etc. settings, software, stored document file backups are performed weekly.

3. If we require data retention (example, for 10,15 years), can you accommodate this?
Moving your WMS database to the cloud will not remove any existing data, we take your current database and move to the cloud.
WMS data is yours and a backup of the database can be provided to you at any time (the latest version of SQL would be required to access this data).
