Backups

Hi there Guru's

I need your help please. I have a 8i database running on a Windows 2000 server. I need to know from you, how would I setup my backups and what exactly do I backup?

Thanx in advance

There are a lot of Backup stratagies present . just go through them .
1) first analyse how big is ur database ?
2) is it a 24 * 7 hours database ?
3) how frequently do du want to take the backup ?
etc... based on these things u decide ur backup policy .
