Backup and Restore
Backup and restoration are important tasks. System administrators must protect their CygNet system from both data loss and machine failure. This effort encompasses both routine procedures performed on an on-going basis and non-routine steps taken to prevent or recover from unexpected disasters.
Some of the potential causes of failure include:
- Hard disk failure
- Power failure
- Accidental or malicious deletions and modifications
- Viruses
- Natural disasters (fire, flood, earthquake, lightning, etc.)
- Theft or sabotage
This section is intended to help administrators develop procedures for backing up and restoring services and verifying the successful restoration of services in the event of a disaster.
Other service and system recovery methods such as CygNet Redundancy, Automatic Service Recovery, and Replication are discussed in detail in other sections of this Help document.
To address questions or circumstances beyond the scope of the CygNet Help, Additional CygNet Resources are available.
