Making regular backups of your databases is crucial to the integrity of your database system. Although Adaptive Server automatically recovers from system crashes (for example, power outages) or server failures, only you can recover from data loss caused by media failure.
The following chapters, from the System Adminstration Guide: Volume 2, describe how to develop and implement a backup and recovery plan:
Chapter 11, “Developing a Backup and Recovery Plan”
Chapter 12, “Backing Upa and Restoring User Databases”
Chapter 13, “Restoring the System Databases”
Chapter 16, “Managing Free Space with Thresholds”
