CIS 157 Lesson 12 - Backing Up


CIS 157 Lesson 12 - Backing Up

Like all good things Hard Drives are no exception in the market of “Fail.”  Now that the ugly truth has yet again reared it’s ugly head lets go ahead and deliberate some basic backup concepts and backup tools. These are not the tools in your granddaddy’s shed either.

 The absolute main three principal criterions to contemplate when beholding the capacity for a storage device to function as a backup device are 1.  Capacity, 2. Speed and 3. Cost. Depending on the type of backup device selected for the servers, backup software can be a convenience if not an absolute necessity. It is extremely crucial that tests are conducted on the restore process protocols on a episodic basis.  This is to ensure that you can recover any lost data that is lost. The most common types of backup jobs are full, differential and incremental.

 
Thanks for stopping by and see you next week.
