ERP Backups still an issue

by Michael Milligan Here is a repost of a great article from Dynamic's SL consultant Becky Kukis on how to backup Dynamics SL. I still hear from three to four customers a year that tell me their backup system failed. The wide range of fault tolerant servers, web backup, disk to disk, disk to tape, internet backup, virtual servers, cloud drives, outsourced IT and hosted servers can mask specific rules and testing that need to be applied regardless of the backup system. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dynamics-sl-back-up-disaster-recovery-plans-rebecca-kukis?trk=prof-po … [Read more...]
