asked on

Recommended frequency for: OS backups, root/boot floppy creation?

As a rule of thumb, how often should I:

1) Take an operating system backup on our SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 box?

2) Create a set of root/boot floppies?

Thanks!

Hmmm...

Slightly misleading - 'monthlies' actually refers to the fact that I only keep the last weekly backup for each month.  So at any one time I can restore to:

   Any overnight restore-point from the last five days.
   Any Saturday night from the last four weeks.
   The last Saturday night of any month up to the last 6 months.
the question is not about data,but about operating system and boot floppies ....

There's more to this question than I thought, seeing these replies; I'm multiplying the point value, and thanks for all the input so far!
