Backup is a strategy, a plan and a process. I do the following: (1) Image system/boot drives nightly (2) Mirror application/file data across my machines multiple times daily (3) Increment/save project files (4) Mirror all data to RAID 5 server stores nightly (5) Backup that data as much off site as possible – the new twist is the Time Warner upgraded speed to support 5 Mb/s uploads and currently uploading 4TB to Crashplan to see if that’s feasible for additional offsite storage. Initial backup obviously will take a couple of months but after that should keep speed. (6) Own advanced undelete and recovery file utilities that support RAID recovery, removable media recovery etc. – these have saved my bacon as well as for colleagues several time. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.outsideinthemovie.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. –Stanley Kubrick |
