Backup: how to run the best backup
If you have realized an importance of backup, you may be aware that your data will be safe and sound, provided the backup is done right. The whole backup process depends on so many nuances, which all contribute to its success, that it is nearly impossible to grasp them all. However, we shall try to cover the most important ones.
Firstly, one needs to analyze his data. This is done to define all the subsequent steps throughout the backup process.
Secondly, one needs to choose a backup storage medium, which is, of course, based on the data analysis.
Thirdly, one needs to choose a backup type. This determines whether all or only the changed files are backed up and whether they are placed in different folders on every backup.
Next, a backup schedule needs to be defined, again, depending on the backup set (data files) and the desires of the person.
Finally, a backup needs to be verified to make sure a restore is possible. This last step is crucial, as the whole purpose of the entire backup process is to supply a valid restored file.
Having gone through these steps, one may be ready to run his first backup. However, these steps are no more than guidelines, as one's backup depends only on his own situation - every person has his own unique backup.
