Maintaining backup archives and records

After creating your scheduled backups, store them in a secure, fireproof place
so that you can use them to restore your data in the event of a hardware failure or other system problem that causes data loss.
Maintaining backup archives involves:

• ``Labeling backups''

• ``Keeping a backup log book''

• ``Rotating and archiving backup media''

• ``Removing file lists from the backup history''
