Backup & Recovery
Restore systems and data to defined recovery points within agreed times.
Overview
Operational teams often lack defined recovery point and time objectives and consistent backup processes. Backups may run without routine verification, leaving uncertainty about whether data and systems can be returned to the required point within an agreed time and exposing service owners and auditors to risk.
Backup & Recovery defines retention and recovery targets, standardises backup procedures, specifies secure storage and monitoring, and schedules restore tests to verify recoverability against agreed targets. The governance covers design and retention policy for IT systems and data and explicitly excludes application redevelopment, full business continuity planning, legal discovery and forensic investigation.
