Checklist for performing backups

Introduction
Follow the steps in this checklist for performing backups.
Step
After installing your server, or after making changes to your server
configuration (for example, IP addresses), create a Platform Recovery
Disk. For more information, see "To create a Platform Recovery Disk"
on page 1009.
Decide whether to use tape backups or remote directory backups, and
configure the setting on Symposium Call Center Server. For more
information, see Section A: "Setting up backup options," on page 1015.
If you are backing up to a tape, ensure that you have the following:
enough backup tapes to rotate them. See page 1007.
a head-cleaning kit. Also ensure that you clean the tape drive
regularly. See page 1006.
Schedule a daily database backup from the client PC. See page 1035.
Note: You may also want to plan an offline full backup using a third-
party backup utility.
