Archiving Past Year Databases

21 February 2007 By Saran

The operations of any company would stem from compiled years of operation, the data of which would usually be stored in the system that is in implementation. But creating historical databases, implementing cut-off dates as well, is a practice that most administrators must focus on. For one, the enormous amount of data a database would have will need to be archived at some point so as to identify cut-off dates and make room for new data and transactions that any company should expect every time.

Archiving and Back Ups

All storage devices need to be backed up periodically. The amount of data that a system and its servers can hold will always be defined. There may come a point when enormous encoded data may become too much for application servers wherein upgrading hardware is not always the option.

Cleaning storage data and keeping at least the current fiscal year’s transactions is a good way to make a cut-off date for reference data.

Back Up Files for Added Security

21 December 2006 By Saran

At the rate that hackers and more people are becoming wiser as far as discovering technology and its flaws today, the best way is to have ready back-up procedures for databases and important documents and spreadsheets just in case of system intrusion and crashes. While it is true that most companies are continuously developing software to be able to limit such malicious intentions, it cannot be discounted that the safest way is to have ready back-ups which can be easily restored at any time of their liking.

Archiving and Backup Files

The question is when to back-up and what to back up. For most people, backing up periodically is the common practice. But for more important documents and reference materials, archiving them as often as possible is the safest way to be sure. People should not wait for the last minute to back-up their files since with the fast pace of technology comes the fast pace development of hackers today.
