Description
Information system backup is a critical step in maintaining data assurance and availability. System-level information includes: system-state information, operating system and application software, and licenses. Backups shall be consistent with organizational recovery time and recovery point objectives. Databases that do not back up information regularly risk the loss of that information in the event of a system failure. Most databases contain functionality to allow regular backups; it is important that this functionality is enabled and configured correctly to prevent data loss.
