backup the database, thats pretty much all you need to backup

gziz is right on. what i do is backup the server using an agent, then backup the database using a db agent as well. we use CA's Arcserve and it works well. I know, its pricey, but it works. I guess you could just do a dump of the db as well if you don't have an official backup solution/strategy that your firm employs. hope that helps.
