RE: Disaster Recovery Plan

["Depp, Dennis M." <deppdm () ornl gov>]

Probably the easiest would be to make a copy of the monthly master and
store the copy off site.  A better option might be to do a full backup
weekly and incrementals each night.  At the end of the week, take the
entire set and store it off site.  Bring the previous weeks backup back
on site to reuse the tapes.

Subject: Disaster Recovery Plan

Although this might be slightly off topic, I was wondering if anyone
could give me some suggestions for some disaster recovery plans. Right
now we are a small place (less than 50 employees total), and I am not
comfortable with the current Disaster Recovery plan (it was created
before I came on board). It basically involves performing a master
backup on tape once a month and then doing a differential backup every
week night. We have 2 sets of differential tapes that we keep off site
and alternate every week, but the masters are not kept off site.

I am working with a very limited budget. Can anyone recommend a good
solution that will ease my worries? Thanks.
