<div>Our Unity server is a stand alone box, it has Unity and MS SQL installed on it. It has its own MS Exchange server it utilizes for storage which resides on a seperate server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The exchange server is backed up already, but I noticed we do not have things setup to back up the Unity server itself. Before you blame me, please note I did not set this up, employed after the fact and I am in charge of all CM and Unity now so I am playing catch up. :-) Anyway, we utilize Backup Exec for all our server backups, including exchange servers and MS SQL servers and so on.

<div> </div>
<div>In regards to backing up the Unity server itself, any advice or best practices? I assume we could set Backup Exec to do it all, utilizing Backup Exec for MS SQL for the database and the basic file backup operations for everything else on the box.

<div>I have see a Unity backup tool some where, and I believe it allows you to basically back up and dump a large file to some where else. This may be the route I want to go and just have it dump to our SAN. Also, typically what is the best practice for how often it should be backed up? Referring to the unity server and MS SQL that resides on it. Daily utilizing incrementals, or daily full backups or weekly full backups? You get the idea. Just want to see what others are doing so I can make an informed decision and get this implemented ASAP.
