Hi all,
I am interested in your stories about back up strategies / procedures with all advantages and disadvantages involved. For example: Set up -Weekends full backups.... 2 tapes -Working days incremental....5 tapes -monthly full backups...12 tapes...1 each month. Which strategy is most efficient and reliable? When do you use full, copy, differential, incremental or daily? (Considering windows backup utility) Which software do you use? How often do you test a restore? (a few files) How often do you perform a full restore? If exchange or sql server is involved. For example with veritas remote agents. How often do you perform a restore on exchange databases / sql server databases? Do you keep an exact copy of the backup hardware involved on a external location in case of fire/ theft? All info is very appreciated. Thanks! Jorre List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx
