•Do
not contaminate the system!
–Backup the system as
soon as possible
•Make multiple
backups, in multiple formats
oImage
backups should be made to preserve deleted files, data hidden
in “bad” sectors, etc
oFilesystem
backups should be made to provide easy access to the
individual files on the system
•TEST ALL BACKUPS
•In the case of
systems with hot swappable mirrored disks, the most effective
method of backup is to remove half of the mirror set
–Do not trust the
binaries installed on the system.
•Use the binaries in
your Jump Kit CD in all cases
