I am summarizing the results below :
>From Sys Admin point of view, all 3 options will do. However, from a
web-server point, option 3 is the best along with regular backup of data
that keep changing. This was best summarized by Tim Wort(tim@access.com).
Netra gives you an option to create a "configuration diskette". In case of
disk failure, boot and restore Netra from the CD, reconfigure using
"configuration diskette" and restore rest of the data from the tape.
1. Make Configuration diskette.(update if config changes)
2. Backup /export directory.
3. Backup home-pages directory.
4. Backup other stuff regularly.
