Our backup strategy is to do a full backup every day to
local disk and then robocopy these .bkf files to a off-
site disk storage.
We keep two generations of backup for disaster recovery so
that as the current backup is executing we still have the
previous day's backup.
With 7 servers and about 1000 GB of production data, the
copy operation uses quite a bit of time and bandwidth to
get the .bkf files to the NAS.
Now, we're looking at SAN solution that mirrors the backup
data to an off-site SAN rather than a copy operation.
In addition we are considering doing a full backup twice a
week and differentials in between. Frankly, we've never
had a physical disaster but have had problems with
unreported corrupt backups that required us, in some case,
to lose weeks worth of mail as we had an uncorrupt week-
old .edb file but not the transaction logs.
I'm curious about any inventive and innovative backup
strategies...
Thanks,
