[dba-Tech] Backup Solution for Windows

Bryan,

A few months back I bought a USB 3.0 1TB drive for $99 CDN, and from then
on I have done nightly backups of the stuff that can be expected to change
daily, plus weekly backups of everything. I simply used the scheduler to
describe the backup procedure, and from then on, no worries!
