Backup Strategy
Dear all, I want your suggestions regarding our firm's backup strategy... Our business starts from 7.00 AM and ends at 2.00 PM ..We can not afford down times during our business period Normally , we are doing a cold backup every day using scheduled cold backup scripts .Is this backup good enough for any future failure ? Do we need to change our backup strategy ? How often do we need to make exports ? Any suggestions would be appreciated ...
