I reviewed several different documents concerning the ASR feature. So
once you implemented ASR you should have a floppy disk and a "bkf"
file (on the local disk).

My question is this? Can I copy the "bkf" to a USB drive for safe
keeping? Let's say I have a server with one hard drive and the drive
craps out, well the "bkf" file would be gone for good.

Any suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,

Dennis

Yes - you definitely should keep copies of the bkf files off-site. Maybe even
have several USB drives and rotate them on a weekly basis?

One thing, make sure the ASR floppy procedure works in your environment.
Keep backups of the floppy and run regular trials to make sure that the
recovery procedure works.
