A backup is a copy of data that is used to restore and recover that data after a system failure or corruption. Backups allow you to restore data after a failure. With proper backups, you can recover from many failures, including:
Media failure
User errors (such as deleting a Project file or Project Web Access (PWA) site by mistake)
Hardware failures (such as a damaged disk drive or permanent loss of a server)
Natural disasters
Additionally, keeping backups of Project Server databases is useful for routine purposes, such as copying a database from one production server to another, moving databases from a production environment to a test environment, restoring Project Web Access sites, archiving for legal purposes, and disaster recovery. For specific guidance on which backup or recovery method you should use for your specific requirements see Plan for disaster recovery in Project Server 2007 as well as Prepare to back up and restore a Project Server 2007 farm
