Guest D303M Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 How often should a DC be backed up? One admin at my company says we only need to backup one DC and if any others fail then we reinstall them and DCPROMO them from a another DC. I'm thinking I want a complete backup of each DC at least once a week. I would like to have a system state everyday and may do that to disk. Do all DC's need to be backed up - or just one. How often is often enough?
Guest Marcin Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Re: Backup Of Doamin Controllers That depends mainly on how dynamic your environment is and what is tolerance of your management/users regarding amount of data that would be lost due to such events as database corruption or site wide disaster. SLA/expected recovery window/network topology/bandwidth between sites would need to be considered when deciding how many DCs you want to back up... hth Marcin
