This is not as trite as it sounds. Performing a proper back-up is more than just copying groups of files onto diskettes or tapes. It involves selecting the correct data, and knowing when to back up. It also requires verifying and accurately dating back-ups, maintaining the proper rotation of redundant back-up copies, modifying the back-up strategy as your compute use evolves, adding new file groups as you add new programs, and periodically updating your disaster recovery plan. |
