Backup Policy
The Backup Policy presents the company's backup strategy, including identification of critical systems and data, frequency of incremental and full backups, responsibilities of backup administrator, storage of backups, offsite rotation, restoration procedures, and more.
A solid Backup Policy is critical in that it often represents the company's last line of defense against data loss stemming from a hardware failure, data corruption, or a security incident.
