Your Proposed Back/up and Recovery Method in concept:
Backups will occur automatically through a scheduled job in Windows
server and will be automatically transferred to an external removable
drive. Upon failure of the physical server, database can be imported into
another server and client workstations reconfigured to connect to the
backup server. This will allow quick and efficient recovery should the
unlikely occurrence of a fatal hardware failure. Both SQL Server database
and corporate share will be copied to the external drive.
Linux Server for future deployment of web services are set-up for test
purposes. Backup currently will be managed by VM ware solutions.
