TAPE Backup - All you ever wanted to know...

Why Perform Backups?

• Because things (disks, computers) break!

• "Amanda" only does some areas (amanda slide from Rob Millner)

• Disks are getting larger; data, file etc. requirements increase

What is backed up routinely?

• Polaris login areas

• Small "home area" disks on most workstations

• Data areas are NOT backed up automatically.
