Absolutely Bernard! So with further mention of one of the most crucial house keeping tasks for any business that uses computers; its time to drag out one of my favourite recommendations to clients and offer the following link:
Why not recommend this link to all your own clients. For probably the last word on backups please visit http://taobackup.com/ written by an Australian, Ross Williams. The advice contained therein is as priceless as your or your customers data. Make sure to click on the red "click for more information on [subject] link at the bottom of each page of 'Tao of backup'. There is one subject per page covering the following topics: Coverage Frequency Separation History Testing Security Integrity Epilogue. Backup "nirvana" is reached at the end of Tao of backups journey with a page that the now enlightened one can bookmark "Tao of backup sanctuary" for reference to all subjects and lessons learned. . Telling you any more would be giving away the secret of the website! :-)) Any body that doesn't get it after reading all this is definitely going to lose all or some of their or someone else's precious data sooner rather than later. Further topical & useful information on backup, large & small for all operating systems, budgets and hardware combinations can be found on a daily basis at the following two newsgroups; news://comp.arch.storage & news://comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage -----Original Message----- From: Bernard Lis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, 12 April 2002 13:54 Subject: backups I don't understand why backups shouldn't be diligent!! It's not a major thing to do. Tape backup drives are inexpensive and can back up the entire server including all databases, word documents, etc. AND it's automatic!!! ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
