I thought I’d update my series of posts on backup. The first one can be found here and the second part here.
Of course, there is no perfect backup strategy. Just like there’s no Santa Claus (sorry to dissapoint kids).
But depending on several things, like the volume of data you need to back up and the frequency you need to do it, it’s possible to design a backup strategy that comes pretty close…
After several months (or is it years) of researching, thinking, trying and failing and retrying, I think I’ve come up with a strategy that works really well. I’ll nut it out here so you can see what you think. For my needs and budget, I’ve decided to forego several technologies that many would see as essential or at least very desirable to solid backup. Namely, NAS (Network Attached Storage) & online backup. The advantages of this is that is provides a good basis for most people at an affordable level. This is clearly not Enterprise backup we are talking here. This is for home and small, small business users.
