Re: Backup Limitations
I'm not trying to avoid giving you answer, however best practices for
backup depends very much on the environment and the available hardware.
For example, is this for your home network, for a business, are
databases involved, what software is used for backing up, etc. etc.
A web search will get you much more information than can be written in a
news post. Tons more. And from people who work in your type of environment.
