Regular backups -- What is standard practice?
Our organization presently does not use the archive log capability, but keeps
multiple backups -- Namely, 1 copy of the last day's work on each of 2 disks,
and 1 copy of the previous backup. We have never, in the 5 years of VAX VMS
operation had a disk failure. System backups are performed by the VAX
adminitrator on a daily basis, and kept, for all intents, forever. We are
considering, for disk space saving, not keeping as many backups as presently --
namely , as single copy of the total export. Please note these are cold
backups of the full system. Are we incurring significant risk by doing so?
What is ( other than archive logging) standard practice in this area?
Thanks
