Backup Risk Assessment Questions

1. If you were to lose your server backup, databases, accounts, email, letters, templates, image bank etc., how much of an impact might this have on the running of your business? What might be the cost of re-creating this data, if that were possible?

2. How often do you backup your data?

3. When did you last check that you have backed up the correct data?

4. When did you last check you can restore your data?

5. What do you do when a backup error is reported?

6. Do you store backups offsite?
• If so, where and how do they get offsite?
• Is the offsite data protected to ensure it cannot be accessed by unauthorised people?

7. Where are your last two server backups?

8. How many versions of your backups do you keep and is it sufficient?

9. If the person responsible for your backups is on vacation, ill or leaves who takes on the responsibilities (changes tapes, checks them, labels them, ensures that they go offsite, manages their rotation)?

10. If you lose files or wish to restore older versions who does it and is it done in an acceptable time?
