Staging editorial review. A completed backup job tells you a copy was created. It does not, by itself, show that your team can recover the files or systems it needs.
Three Useful Questions
- What important information and systems are included?
- Who checks failures and controls access to backup copies?
- When did you last restore something successfully?
CISA recommends maintaining protected backup copies and regularly testing restoration. For your business, agree what to restore first and record the result of a controlled test.
