Backup

An important consideration for any organization is protecting company data through backup. Without a current backup, even companies that employ a mirrored hard drive configuration may only realize limited recoverability.

To help protect against data loss, Aras recommends that companies running Aras Innovator software plan for and implement regular system and data backups. This plan includes the following:

• The purchase of a dedicated backup device and media.
• An appropriate backup schedule.
• Periodic test restores to verify backup integrity.
• Off-site storage of current or recent complete system backups.

A backup plan should also include an associated plan for restoring the data.
