| Backup Strategy |
|
- Simulate a random disk crash -- just turn off the power
- Nothing should break -- people can keep working
- Nothing should break -- email and web still works
- Rotate your Backups
- daily incremental on Backup-Daily
- weekly 30 day incremental on Backup-Weekly ( different server )
- weekly Full backups ( different server than dail or weekly-30 )
- do NOT erase last weeks backup
- keep multiple backups on different servers
- keep the 32 or 94 day incrementals if you decide to erase *.Full.tgz
- Test your Backups from Bare Metal Restores
- always start from virgin disk when testing backups
- always just apply the patches ... NO manual changes
