Plan a recovery strategy
Before you use ON-Bar or ontape, plan your recovery goals.
- Types of data loss
The first step in planning a recovery strategy is to determine how much data loss, if any, is acceptable. - Determine failure severity
After you determine your recovery goals, create your recovery plan. The plan should include recovery goals for multiple levels of failure. - Data use determines your backup schedule
After you develop your recovery plan, create a backup plan based on how you use your data. - Schedule backups
You recovery strategy should include a schedule of backups. Tailor your backup plan to the requirements of your system. The more often the data changes and the more important it is, the more frequently you need to back it up. - Security requirements for label-based access control
For label-based access control (LBAC), the person who runs ON-Bar or ontape does not require an exemption to security policies or an additional privilege to back up or restore data.
