Chapter 13. Backup, Restore, and Duplication
When developing a complete backup and restore solution, you need to keep the following objectives in mind:
Understand the business requirements surrounding the SharePoint Portal Server instance.
Understand data loss risk.
Assess downtime tolerance and performance.
Develop procedures to minimize the effects of data.
Keep your plan simple.
After you have developed a solid backup and restore plan, it is important to validate its effectiveness with proper testing in a development/testing environment.
As with any process development activity, it is imperative that you document your decisions and procedures, and maintain the version control on your documentation.
