When to Take Backups

Tailor your backup strategy to the needs of your business. For example, if it is acceptable to lose data in the event of a disk failure, you may not need to perform frequent backups.

What will happen if your database must be available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? In this case, you need to backup your database frequently.

The needs of your business primarily determine the frequency of your backups and the types of backups performed.
