Backing Up Your Database
As a part of your database backup plan, you will need to choose a backup tool from a variety of options. For example, you can use a tool provided by your DBMS, a script file, or a third-party backup utility. Most of these tools provide an equivalent amount of functionality. However, you should make sure that the selected tool is properly suited for backing up databases.
Reminder: Care must be taken to ensure that DBMS database backup is synchronized with volume data backup. Otherwise, the DBMS database may not be in a state that is consistent with the images, text, electronic files, thumbnails, and word location data stored in a volume.
