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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Backup Exec for MS SQL for the database and the basic file backup operations

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
