Why Backup?
-----------
dfgfd fghfgh fh
The primary purpose of backup is to protect against data loss. Data
loss can happen because of faulty hardware, but also by human errors.
A common mistake is to delete a file or folder which is still
required. Virtualization can amplify this problem, because it is now
easy to delete a whole virtual machine by a single button press.
Backups can also serve as a toolkit for administrators to temporarily
store data. For example, it is common practice to perform full backups
before installing major software updates. If something goes wrong, you
can just restore the previous state.
Another reason for backups are legal requirements. Some data must be
kept in a safe place for several years so that you can access it if
required by law.
- value of data, importance for your business, legal regulations
- restore tests. to make sure backup/restore works
