Objective:

To design a reliable system that automatically backs up educational data — including student records, course content, and assessment results — and allows quick recovery in case of accidental loss, corruption, or system failure.

Why Choose This Project:

• Prevents permanent data loss in e-learning platforms.

• Ensures business continuity for educational institutions.

• Integrates cloud storage, automation, and disaster recovery, providing practical experience in data management.

• Essential for maintaining integrity and trust in digital learning systems.

Key Features:

Technology Stack:

• Backend: Python (Flask / Django) or Node.js.

• Database: MySQL / PostgreSQL / MongoDB (backup & recovery).

• Cloud Storage: AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage.

• Automation & Scheduling: Cron jobs, AWS Lambda, or Azure Functions.

• Encryption: AES / RSA for secure backups.

• Optional Monitoring: Email/SMS notifications using SMTP or cloud services.

Working Flow:

1. Data Identification

   • Identify critical learning data including student info, grades, course materials, and assessments.

2. Backup Scheduling

   • Schedule automatic backups daily, weekly, or based on changes (incremental backup).

3. Data Storage

   • Store backups locally and on cloud storage with encryption.

4. Monitoring & Alerts

   • Track backup success or failure and notify administrators via email or dashboard alerts.

5. Recovery Process

   • Retrieve backup from cloud or local storage to restore data in case of loss or corruption.

6. Version Management

   • Maintain multiple backup versions for point-in-time recovery.

Main Modules:

1. Backup Scheduling Module

2. Data Encryption & Storage Module

3. Cloud Integration Module

4. Recovery & Restore Module

5. Monitoring & Notification Module

Security Features:

• Encrypted storage for all backups.

• Secure access with role-based permissions.

• Integrity checks to ensure backups are not corrupted.

• Audit logs for backup and recovery actions.
