Archiving and backing up

IBM Safer Payments does not automatically remove archived cases, log messages, and so on, from the file system.

PCI DSS requires purging cardholder data after the customer-defined retention period. Therefore, the licensee must implement a backup process for those files, and ensure that the archived files are purged before the end of the retention period.

For information about directory locations that might contain encrypted cardholder data, see Configuring cardholder data storage locations. Backup and purge processes apply to these folders.
