Data backup policy

Key role(s)

Objectives

Define a global data backup policy

Benefits

Improve IT efficiency with the right level of backup

The data backup policy must cover the entire organization and take into account the different types of data, since of course we will not keep the same way or the same time:

  • Logs
  • Backups
  • Application objects and especially their different versions
  • Application data

For each of these types, it will be necessary to define the rules and automated mechanisms for nominal, archive and purge backups.

This global mechanism will be part of the company's best practices to ensure that each new solution developed integrates this policy.
