Separate your application binaries from data
Backup size for enabling System
Recovery and System State
Protection is reduced
In case of disk failure, you have isolated the system from data
If data volume fails, OS is available to aid in volume/app recovery
If OS volume fails, a System
Recovery only without repartitioning disks will get server up without data loss or roll back
Data with high I/O should be placed in separate disk spindles to improve performance

Backup disk should be at least 1.5 times the combined storage capacity of the volumes included in the backup
Create recovery disk and keep offsite for DR scenarios
Offsite storage and periodic rotation of backup disks
Backup multiple times a day ensures more restore points
Storing backups offsite ensures recovery from disaster
Periodic rotations ensures more recent copies stored offsite
