Backup
and recovery is one of the most important aspects of database
administration. If a database crashed and there was no way
to recover it, the devastating results to a business could
include lost data, lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction.
Whether companies operate a single database or multiple
databases storing hundreds of gigabytes or even terabytes
of data, they share one common factor - the need to back
up important data and protect themselves from disaster by
developing a backup and recovery plan.
