		<description><![CDATA[When is Application-Consistent Backup Vital? Not all situations require an application-consistent backup. Things such as file and print servers will be fine with crash-consistent and possibly inconsistent backups. If your application doesn&#8217;t provide a VSS writer, there might not even be a way to get an application-consistent backup of it while its containing machine is [...]]]></description>

They verify that the software and hardware they&#8217;re using will handle the load, configure it to back up on a reasonable schedule, and forget about it. Some will take [...]]]></description>
