Individual Site Collection backups are an ideal option when you only want to protect a subset of individual site collections or duplicate one or multiple site collections to a test environment. Individual Site Collection backups are independent of an established sequence of backups and do not affect the recoverability of Full or Differential Farm Backups. However, they should not be used as a replacement for a Full and Differential Backup strategy.
To protect your SharePoint deployment fully, backups of the following items available as detailed in Extra items to protect using NetVault Backup and the Plug-in for FileSystem:
• |
Full Backups only: When requirements guarantee data protection up to the previous day, performing Full Backups nightly should suffice when one or more of the following conditions exist: |
• |
Full + Differential Backups: When requirements guarantee data protection up to the previous day and backups have to be as fast as possible, Full Backups coupled with Differential Backups is a valid strategy. For example, Full Backups are performed every Sunday at 11:00 P.M., while Differential Backups are performed Monday through Saturday at 11:00 P.M. Each Differential Backup includes all the changes since the last Full Backup, which is known as the differential base. |
