<br />
It means configure all primary servers for a full backup once (you can configure weekly/monthly also) then after differential backups everyday.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have set up my backup now.<br />
I use BE2012SP2.<br />
All jobs are configured but I want to know if this is correct.<br />
<br />
I have 5 different clusters and a lot of other servers.<br />
From each server I backup the SystemState.<br />
And each cluster (DB´s, Exchange etc.) is configured with a full backup and a differential backup.<br />
<br />
Is there a need to backup from each server the C partition ?

Hi Experts,

I have set up my backup now.
I use BE2012SP2.
All jobs are configured but I want to know if this is correct.

correct backup

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
