Backing up your Environment
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Every now and again SAS issues a whitepaper with recommended best practice for administering your SAS9 environment. There is a great whitepaper over at SAS Support titled:
It outlines the best practice for backing up your SAS9 environment and covers the areas:
- metadata
- WebDav content
- SAS Data Sets
- SAS Scalable Performance Data Server (SPDS) files
It doesn’t include:
- Configuration files
- Backup software recommendations
- backup management processes for archiving and storage
As well as outlining the SAS tools available to backup up your environment it also provides a good overview of how all the technical components fit together and recommended back approaches.
