EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert - Server Backups and Remote Repositories - Best Practices

[mwhelihan]

It is recommended that customers do not configure their Data Center Expert to backup to the same physical or virtual server that hosts any DCE remote repositories (if in use).

This imposes significant risk; if the physical or virtual server becomes unavailable and unrecoverable, both remote data and backups would be lost.

Backups should always be stored in multiple locations, separate from DCE data, whenever possible.

Available disk space should be monitored.
