But have you stopped to consider how you will recover your system in the event of a worst case scenario? i.e: complete server data loss, server theft, fire damage etc.<br /><br />With a worst case scenario, you will most likely be replacing the server with a new one and 99% of the time it will not be the same model of server that you had originally. This means that recovering your system from file backup will be tedious and take a long time.<br /><br />Ideally, you will want your server back up and running as quickly as possible, right? Of course you do - that way business can continue as normal. The only sure way to achieve this is to take an image snapshot of your server using specialised software.<br /><br />An image backup allows the server to be restored quickly and even supports restoring to completely new and different hardware.<br /><br />It is not that expensive to do and will save you a whole lot of stress when the time comes to recover and statistics tell us that every business will experience a disaster recovery at some point in time.<br /><br />So, make sure your backup system includes an image backup as well as file backup!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6433808283851646234-6175498216543551500?l=lansofttech.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Inglishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02628648867194273827noreply@blogger.com0
