Scheduling Backups

Table 6 shows a sample backup plan for a small or medium-sized system. Tailor your backup plan to the requirements of your system. The more often the data changes and the more important it is, the more frequently you need to back it up. For more information, see Choosing a Backup Level.

Table 6. Sample Backup Plan
Backup Level Backup Schedule
Complete (level-0) backup Saturday at 6 P.M.
Incremental (level-1) backup Tuesday and Thursday at 6 P.M.
Incremental (level-2) backup Daily at 6 P.M.
Level-0 backup of storage spaces that are updated frequently Hourly

Important:
Perform a level-0 backup after you change the physical schema, such as adding a chunk to a storage space. (See Collecting Information About Your System Before a Backup.)
