When developing your backup plan, keep the following in mind:

• Be sure to have spare hardware in case of a failure in your backup device.
• Test backed up data regularly to verify the reliability of your backup procedures and equipment.
• Include stress testing of backup hardware (storage drives, optical drives, and controllers) and software (backup program and device drivers).
