Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

> ## Creating a backup schedule

> The backup schedule is a fundamental part of the recovery plan. It determines how frequently you must perform backups, assigns responsibility for making backups, and serves as a record of when backups are performed.

> Ideally, you should perform a full backup of the database every day. However, depending on availability requirements and your recovery plan, a less frequent full backup and frequent incremental backups might be sufficient.

> Several considerations impact the backup schedule:

> - Database integrity

> - Database size

> - Time

> - Unscheduled backups
