|
||
<div><p>This topic describes the step necessary to define a backup strategy.</p>
|
||
<p>There is no one perfect backup strategy that meets everyone’s needs. Therefore,
|
||
it is important to define your backup requirements before you decide on a
|
||
backup strategy. Use the following questions to help you determine your backup:</p>
|
||
<div class="p"><ul><li>Do I need backups?<ul><li>Could information be re-created easily?</li>
|
||
<li>If I do not have backups, how will that affect my business?</li>
|
||
<li>Am I legally required to have backups?</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>How frequently should my backups be done?<ul><li>Daily</li>
|
||
<li>Weekly</li>
|
||
<li>Monthly</li>
|
||
<li>Only when a volume is full</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>How will backups be done?<ul><li>Incremental backup</li>
|
||
<li>Partial or selective backups</li>
|
||
<li>Complete backups</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>When do I want the system to perform the backups?<ul><li>During first, second, or third shift</li>
|
||
<li>On the weekend</li>
|
||
<li>Will there be other contentions for the optical drives?</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Will target volume contain backups for one or multiple volumes?</li>
|
||
<li>How long do I retain source information after a backup has completed?</li>
|
||
<li>What type of availability is needed for volumes?<ul><li>In optical media library</li>
|
||
<li>Out of optical media library, but on-site</li>
|
||
<li>Out of optical media library, and off-site</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>

|
||
<p>This is not a complete list of items to consider when deciding on a backup
|
||
strategy, but rather a foundation on which you can build.</p>
