Use the worksheets provided in this appendix to record the information required to back up and restore all data and settings for an Enterprise pool, consolidated configuration. After you complete the worksheets, do the following:
- Provide the worksheets to all administrators who are
responsible for backing up data and settings and ensure that they
understand all backup requirements.
- Store one or more copies of the worksheets in a secure location
that is readily accessible if the information is needed to restore
service to a database, server, pool, or site.

necessary for restoration of service.

* For the Front End Server, you need to back up all three setting levels on one of the Front End Servers, but you only need to back up computer-level settings on any other Front End Servers in the pool. All three levels of settings can be in a single configuration file, or you can use a separate configuration file for each level, as described in the Backing Up Settingssection of this guide.
