Your backup strategy should reflect the value of your data. You may have missed Jim’s question in the second post in this thread, but the answer to it is important. If you are indexing rather than importing records, your backup may otherwise not contain all the data you expected it to (or, of course, you may be fully aware of all the caveats).

Some while back I initiated a thread on backup strategies, which you will find [here](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/backup-strategies/61940) if you are interested.
