Brian,
Second using the BESR. It's been blessed by Invensys and is less scary for
a customer to install on a node.
The setup I've had the best results with is BESR with BESR
Manager,(additional package), on a separate server. That way, the backup
schedule can be managed from one location.
The servers are backup up daily, the workstations, monthly or quarterly as
desired.
The backup rotation typically used in the IT world is a standard GFS,
Grandfather,Father,Son. The Son is daily, with one graduating to Father
status weekly. The Father is weekly with one graduating to Grandfather
status monthly. The Grandfather is moved to off site. Off site can be
another server is a remote location. Keep as many monthly backups as
desired.
Speaking from experience,(bad), disk space is way cheaper than losing data,
or explaining why data isn't there on a restore.
Hope this helps. Contact if you have any questions.

Rick Mol

Thanks for all the replies, one question though, if using a centralized
backup server how is it backed up and how do you handle off site copies?
Thanks,
Brian

The standard backup software that you can get with our Windows machines
supports Network Addressed Storage. You would then backup that machine.
That's the normal recommendation at this point.

Subject: [foxboro] Backup Stragady - Win Servers
We are implementing a number of Win Servers and eventually Win Op stations.
We're curious to know how others handle backups. With Unix we kept at least
3 tapes and typically restored them to hard drives to verify the backup was
ok and to have an emergency spare drive(s) on hand. Currently we are
backing up Win Servers to USB drives but as we add more and more this will
become difficult and not very practical. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian Long
