Backup & Disaster Recovery

Establishing strategies and procedures to regularly back up data and systems and to recover them quickly in case of a disaster or failure. This ensures that data integrity and service continuity are maintained even in adverse situations.

IMPLEMENTATION

Backup Strategy:

  • Identify critical data and systems that require regular backups.

  • Choose appropriate backup solutions (e.g., full, incremental, differential backups).

  • Schedule regular backups to ensure data is consistently saved (e.g., daily, weekly).

  • Use both on-site and off-site backup locations to protect against local disasters.

  • Implement automated backup tools and scripts to ensure consistency and reliability.

  • Encrypt backups to protect sensitive data during storage and transit.

Disaster Recovery Plan:

  • Define the scope and objectives of the disaster recovery plan.

  • Develop detailed recovery procedures for different types of disasters (e.g., hardware failure, cyber-attacks).

  • Set up a secondary recovery site or use cloud-based disaster recovery services.

  • Ensure that critical systems can be restored within an acceptable timeframe (Recovery Time Objective, RTO).

  • Regularly test the disaster recovery plan with simulations and drills to ensure effectiveness.

  • Document all disaster recovery procedures and maintain up-to-date contact information for key personnel.

  • Review and update the plan regularly to account for changes in the system or infrastructure.

TIPS 

  • Involve all relevant stakeholders in the planning and testing of backup and disaster recovery procedures.

  • Use a combination of backup methods (e.g., local, cloud) to ensure comprehensive coverage.

  • Regularly verify the integrity of backups to ensure they can be restored without issues.

  • Conduct regular training for the team on disaster recovery procedures and roles.

  • Maintain clear and detailed documentation of all backup and recovery processes.
