[QUOTE="retrosurfer, post: 228163, member: 1055"] Personal view my personal comments - we do a lot of backup on our servers on a daily basis as it's just a must to do to ensure that the data is safe and in the worst case scenario, we have the replicated data for recovery purposes. What will be do with the backups when we finished the backups? - backing up databases or data is important but the most important part is the integrity of the data. We can save, backup, replicate, redundant data, yada yada yada but if the INTEGRITY of the data never being tested, DONT EVEN BOTHER to waste the time doing it. :top: So due to ensuring the integrity of the data is 100% bullet proof (in our business we just need to make sure it is 100% bullet proof), we do test it from time to time by dumping the replicated/saved/backup data into a backup production server and check the integrity of the data - each important data are checked thoroughly. We did stop a replication process last year (provided by one of biggest antivirus software in the world) and told them to take their process with them as it do us no good. We pay the money monthly for the service but when the time that we need to use it it's not working... :stupid: But then again, this is how we run our business daily and also the process in making sure that we do have the redundancy process implemented. If other webhost does not practice this (normally they will need to as this is their business) , that i wouldn't know.. Damn.. i guess i am partial Geek...:rock: [/QUOTE]
