Step 2 : Design a backup plan and procedure
Now that you have decided on the backup media, it is time to assemble the backup proposal and procedure for the company to manage their backup system. You need to decide what backup type is most appropriate for the business and how the business should schedule the swapping of the media. The business needs to have a procedure developed that is simple and easy to follow. Media needs to be labeled properly so the customer knows what is backed up on each day.Be sure to address the customer's needs in your proposed backup plan. Also identify any other open issues or questions that may still need to be asked to achieve a good solution for the customer. Describe your plan in the following steps:
a. Describe the equipment recommended and explain why you selected this equipment:
b. Describe location of the equipment in the network and the network link speeds to the equipment:
c. Describe the backup media to be used and also explain why you selected this media:
d. Describe the backup schedule:
e. Describe the backup and restore procedure, including: what kind of backup (Normal, Differential, Incremental), how it will be tested, what kind of maintenance the equipment requires. How tapes will be labeled and where tapes that have been backed up will be stored. When backups need to be restored, what is the specific procedure for a file, a folder, a drive (use extra sheets it necessary)?
