backup policy

A backup policy is a set of rules and guidelines that an organization follows to protect its important data. It outlines how often data should be copied, where copies are stored, and who is responsible for managing the process. The goal is to ensure that if data is lost—due to accidents, cyberattacks, or natural disasters—it can be restored quickly and effectively. A good backup policy provides clear procedures for creating, testing, and retaining backups, ensuring that valuable information remains safe and accessible when needed.
