Every now and again SAS issues a whitepaper with recommended best practice for administering your SAS9 environment. There is a great whitepaper over at SAS Support titled:

Backing Up SAS Content In Your SAS®9 Enterprise Intelligence Platform – Considerations for Creating Backups of Your SAS Content

It outlines the best practice for backing up your SAS9 environment and covers the areas:

  • metadata
  • WebDav content
  • SAS Data Sets
  • SAS Scalable Performance Data Server (SPDS) files

It doesn’t include:

  • Configuration files
  • Backup software recommendations
  • backup management processes for archiving and storage

As well as outlining the SAS tools available to backup up your environment it also provides a good overview of how all the technical components fit together and recommended back approaches.
