BACKUP STRATEGIES

We develop detailed strategies for you for back up and recovery keeping in mind:

• Controlled access to the facility where the backups are stored.
• Controlled access to the physical media (e.g., no one individual should have access to both online data and the physical backup media).
• Separation of duties and the two-person rule when changes are made to the backup process.

RESTORATION STRATEGIES

• Perform and periodically test backups.
• Protect media and content from modification, theft, or destruction.
• Apply separation of duties and configuration-management procedures to backup systems just as you do for other system modifications.
• Apply the two-person rule for protecting the backup process and physical media so that one person cannot take action without the knowledge and approval of another employee.

• Proper backup, storage, and handling of data are necessary for all departments to achieve their objectives.
