It is your responsibility to keep your data backups accurate, current, and protected. Many backup systems provide limited protection, unless they are part of a comprehensive backup program. To maintain effective protection for your records, you must facilitate an effective backup strategy that actively involves staff participation in your daily operation.
A comprehensive backup checklist includes the following:
Establishing a backup routine.
Testing your backup system.
Determining what files need to be backed up.
Understanding the different types of backup media.
Providing safe storage for your backup media.
Maintaining backup devices.
Replacing worn backup media.
Understanding the restore process.
It is recommended that you work with your hardware technician to create your own checklist.
