Regular backups of the STA database can protect your site from potential data loss. STA provides a Backup Service, but if you have a preferred backup application at your site, you can use that instead.

The STA Backup Service is disabled by default. Use the staservadm utility to configure it. Once configured, the service performs regular backups of the STA database and saves it on either the STA server or an external server.
