I got my Sql backups running at midnight then I have batch files doing exports every 15 minutes via the Windows Scheduler of any form that would update. In the batch file it saves the arx files to the local server and to another server offsight.
The query of course would be anything >= $DATE$ since the database backup has it to midnight. It just overwrites the old data. We only create about 150 HelpDesk tickets daily so it's not so tasking on my server. I'm on ARS 4.0.3 righ now though. Then on the recovery end I got another batch file that will make sure the Remedy services are off then load the most current backed up database to the local server, then another batch to import the arx files. Then last to enable the Remedy services and I'm up. The recovery process takes only 10 minutes. Since I also copy the backed up SQL database file to my offsite server as well. We're about to go to ARS 6.3 so I'm not sure yet if this same process will work. The exports are actually the easy part since it's straight forward the fun part is the recovery.

** All, I am trying to find the best way to make sure that I have a good disaster revovery plan. I already set up SQL Backups full and diff etc. From my class two weeks ago (admin 2) it seems the best way to be able to bring your data back though is to do a data export and then import. Is there anyway to automate this on a schedule or do I need to have my junior admins just do this every day ?
