What Are the Best Practices for SharePoint 2013 Farm Backups?

For many Sharepoint administrators, one of the biggest concerns is to restore or store data from a SharePoint company. The need to maintain the quality of data in the farm is one of many factors to consider. Administrators can, however, follow a set of best practices to significantly reduce data corruption or risk of data loss in backups from Sharepoint 2013. and follow some of these best practices.

Test the quality of the backup periodically

Administrators can by checking and validating backups to prevent consistent backups at regular intervals disaster in the crisis. The contents of the backups can be validated by performing recovery operations. Administrators can ensure that the entire environment will restore backups.

When administrators need backup or restore backups for SharePoint servers in different geographic areas, they can set the remote control batteries to simulate these activities. After that, the SharePoint farms can be restored to the technology-linked database.

This technology allows administrators to send a copy of the database to the remote office and redirect users. Time restorations can also make hardware problems that hinder the restoration of data.

Backups Tracking ULS log (Unified Logging Service)

Unified Logging Service (ULS) does not generate security monitoring logging in SharePoint 2013, however, the data stored in these records can be very useful when administrators need to fix or analyze the performance or ALS check compatibility. Of course under the regular maintenance program should create backups of data. By default, the SharePoint files are stored in the path -: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Microsoft Shared \ Web Server Extensions \ 15 \ Logs.

Records Sharepoint files are named as server names, followed by the date of creation and date and time. These types of records are automatically generated at preset intervals, and each time the IISRESET command is executed by the directors. Files new records must be kept permanently while the oldest can be safely removed - unless there are significant changes in the configuration from the moment of creation.

Storage Offsite copies of the backup files

One of the dangers of data storage is the physical damage as a result of natural catastrophes, and there can be no defense for this type of problem. But the SharePoint Server 2013 buffer battery can be protected by administrators to copy and store in remote physical locations.

There should be three copies of each backup stored in multiple locations, including one in the cloud and off-site ideal. Copies must contain all types of backup data and documents tracing protocols use statistics, transaction records, records and records database recovery/backup.
