Recovery plan

There is a great variety of backup/image tools available. No matter which tool you choose,

make sure you design a recovery plan that will help you restore a defective computer step by

step. This recovery plan should be performed regularly on test computers for practice. A

stressful situation can occur if a relevant computer fails due to a hardware fault. The

downtime can also be minimized in such a situation if you have adequate training for

performing a restore.

Note

You should create and regularly test a recovery plan in your own interest.

8.7

We recommend backing up to several media, such as DVDs, to external or separate hard

disks and USB sticks.

External hard disks are a practical alternative to meeting the high-capacity requirements of a

system backup. Spatial and topological separation is recommended to protect backups.
