Guidelines for Scheduling Backups

Scheduling frequent backups is recommended when:

• Tables are heavily updated
• The number of update logs created per day is large
• Recovery must begin immediately when needed
• Recovery time must be short

To ensure the continual availability of the table data over time, maintain backups and update logs on disk. When lead-time to availability is acceptable, update logs and backups can be archived to free disk space. To minimize the risk of loss of data during a disaster, maintain disaster recovery copies of backups and update logs in an off-site location. Schedule the transfer to occur on a regular basis.
