Developing a Backup Strategy
Explain the need for, and development of, a backup strategy. Include information on determining what to back up, how often to back up, as well as the proper storage facility for backups.
Backup is often defined as the placing of a copy of current data on tape media for storage. The goal is to have a snapshot of data from a certain point in time that can be used in an emergency to restore deleted, damaged, or otherwise missing data. A backup strategy, however, does not stop at providing the ability to recover data. This might be okay when equipment and facilities are not damaged or missing. However, a backup strategy includes the capability to move processing to alternative locations if necessary.
