Description
Information system backup is a critical step in maintaining data assurance and availability. Information system and security related documentation contains information pertaining to system configuration and security settings. If this information were not backed up, and a system failure occurred, the security settings would be difficult to reconfigure quickly and accurately. Maintaining a back up of information system and security related documentation provides for a quicker recovery time in the midst of a system outage.
