This section covers the basics of system administration and database administration to keep your ThoughtFarmer installation running, and to ensure that your organization can recover from server failures. ThoughtFarmer customers are responsible for ensuring that their own backup procedures are properly set up and working. Tasks outlined in this section are not covered under software maintenance. ThoughtFarmer stores all of its data in your SQL Server database. If your server dies, the only things needed for a full recovery are the ThoughtFarmer Installer (a.k.a. TFManager) and the most current backup of your SQL Server database.
