The Utrera Town Hall is the local government institution of the municipality of Utrera, located in the province of Seville, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. The municipal territory covers an approximate area of 651 km² and has a population of around 52,000 inhabitants, making it one of the most relevant municipalities in the Bajo Guadalquivir region.
Within the scope of its powers, the Town Hall manages municipal services and the infrastructure necessary to ensure the operation of public services, promoting initiatives aimed at technological modernization, administrative efficiency, and the continuous improvement of service to citizens.
In order to strengthen the Town Hall’s backup and disaster recovery strategy, a backup infrastructure based on Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) has been implemented as the main data protection solution, enabling efficient and centralized backups of municipal systems. This architecture is complemented by a Remote PBS, which acts as an external repository and ensures the availability of backups at a location outside the primary data center, within the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).
The backup infrastructure includes a tape library intended for long-term data archiving and preservation, which enables the automated storage of historical backups on an independent physical medium isolated from the network. This solution provides an additional layer of security against serious incidents or logical failures and facilitates compliance with the data retention policies applicable to public administrations.
Likewise, Veeam Backup & Replication has been implemented with an immutable repository, ensuring that backups remain protected against unauthorized modification or deletion for the defined retention period, guaranteeing data integrity and availability even in the event of security incidents.
Thanks to this multilayer backup architecture, the Utrera Town Hall has a robust and resilient data protection environment, designed to ensure the continuity of municipal services and the integrity of information in the event of potential incidents. Overall, the implemented solution complies with the 3-2-1 backup strategy, which guarantees the existence of three copies of the information, stored on at least two different media, with one copy located outside the primary environment, thereby improving recovery capabilities in the event of failures or critical situations.
“The necessary trust in electronic administration is built on a solid foundation of security, availability, and protection of information against incidents. Only through resilient backup and recovery architectures is it possible to guarantee the continuity of public services and the integrity of municipal data.”
