Backup checklist
- Be clear on what data is to be secured and work out a backup policy to ensure an acceptable data security standard that the organisation will accept
- Determine the allowable time that will cause minimal disruption to users and how often a backup is required
- Determine the correct solution that will achieve the policy within the constraints of the time available and the acceptable risk and budget
- An absolute minimum is to have three rotating backups held, usually off-site
- Implement the solution and document the operations procedure
- Test the solution to ensure that data can be recovered
- Review backup policies regularly
