Backup and Restore

Abstract

It is extremely important that you back up your Live Communications Server environment and that you can restore it if that fateful time ever arrives where you have to restore it because of either data loss or hardware failure, or worse. It is also extremely important that you test those backups—there is nothing worse than having to restore a backup only to find that the backup does not actually work. Now, we’re not suggesting that you perform a restore every day or even every week, but you should perform regular restores to ensure that they are working. And don’t forget to test your restore on a spare server and not on your live production server!
