Sizing, Considerations, and Recommendations 47
The main points to consider in providing a good solution are:
• Time taken to back up and restore data
• Impact to system, if doing online backup
• Ability to recover individual files or databases as required
• Cost of recovering files and databases
• Tape device to use
• Network infrastructure - if backing up across a network
• Size of databases and growth rate
• Tape backup software to use
• Storage of backup media
• Testing of recovery procedures
• Scheduling of full backups
• Scheduling of incremental backups - if used
• Disaster recovery plans
• Documentation of all the above
As you can see from the list above, this is not a simple task. Great care must be
taken to ensure the right backup and recovery procedures are used, and
documented which meet the individual circumstances of the customer’s
requirements.
It is sufficient that you have a basic understanding of what is required to fulfill the
needs of an IBM and J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld solution. For particular customer
needs, it is recommended that you consult a qualified person to specify the
backup and recovery solution required.
