The backup and restoration plan for your organization should contain details about how and when you back up data and settings. Administrators use this information to schedule and complete backups, and in the event of a loss of service, members of your staff can use it to restore databases, servers, pools, or a site. You can use the worksheets provided in this section to facilitate documentation of the information required to back up and restore Office Communications Server 2007 R2 service in your organization. These worksheets are only a starting point. To use these worksheets, you should tailor them to match the specific deployment and backup and restoration requirements of your organization and integrate them, as appropriate, with the other internal documentation of your organization.

Note:
These appendices cover only the information required to restore the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 data and settings of databases and servers. If you need to document other restoration information, such as the information required to reinstall operating systems and other software, use the deployment plans and backup and restoration plan of your organization to address those restoration requirements.
