Cross Post – Backup Best Practices

Yet another must-see post by Joel – this one covering backup details for SharePoint 2007.  Interesting format as it is a recap of an e-mail thread. 

Two items stood out for me as I was reading the post:

1. Another good STSADM command to note for part of your backup processes: enumalternatedomains
2. STSADM [catastrophic backup] will truncate the SQL logs.  This adds another element to your planning for backup routines – SQL backups should be run before an STSADM backup in order to capture the logs.
