Virtual Dedicated Server Backup

On a dedicated or virtual dedicated server environment when one runs custom modules, hosted exchange and hosted WSS version of SharePoint, you might be doing the internal backups but there are chances that you may be doing the wrong files backup. So in case of crisis there is completely no one to help.

• the frequency of their usage/visit,
• types of resources often used by them,
• interaction level with their IT managed applications present,
• Type of service opted for,
• Security logs and loop-holes for them by analyzing their behaviours
