Chapter 12: Backing Up

Chapter 12 dealt with something that many of us don't do often enough: backing up. In truth, the importance of backup is directly proportional to the importance of the data being backed up. My save game files in Dragon Age: Origins are not exactly critical data, for example. The chapter and class lecture covered several different ways of backing up, be it from the GUI console or the command line, but the takeaway I have from this chapter is that I really should invest in a third-party utility if I want to back up data on servers. The Windows Server options are pretty basic.
