Backup Systems

All system administrators agree that data backup is a necessary evil. Unfortunately, due to this fact backup solutions are too often deployed with very little thought or planning; as a result, mission-critical data may not be available when disaster strikes.

An effective backup strategy should address the following questions:

• Is all of your data covered?
• Can user data be restored at a granular level?
• Can your data be restored in a timely manner in the event of a disaster?
• What is the shelf life of your backup media? Can it retain data for the required time period?
• Is your schedule maximizing backup effectiveness? Is it making the best of use of your media?
• Are backups scheduled in a manner that does not interfere with other network activity?
• Are backups being performed in a secure manner that prevents unauthorized access or manipulation?
