Backup Recommendations (procedure) |

|
Perform a backup at the end of each work day of the entire PBSW folder on rotated media, and take the backup media off site. Rotated media is having one tape/cartridge/cd for each day of the week. Each staff member should be shown how to back up PBS. Perform a system backup at the end of each business day to make a copy of ALL of the PBS Endo data on the hard disk to CD, Tape, or Zip Cartridge. Assuming the usual installation of PBS Endo was performed, the PBS Endo data is in the PBSW folder.
Complete the backup daily and take it off site, out of the office, overnight.
TIP: Do not perform an "incremental" backup. Incremental backups only include the files that have changed since the last backup.
TIP: Do not select "append multiple volumes" to the same tape. All previous data on the tape should be erased before the backup begins.
NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS
In a networked (or Multi-user) environment, make sure ALL Satellite computers have exited to the Windows desktop before executing a backup from the Server. This will ensure that all PBS Endo data files have been properly closed.
