Consider yourself responsible for securing the data of your workplace. You must already be aware that this is not as simple as backing up to another hard drive. It is important to have backup tools, processes, and policies for both business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Let’s see how you plan to present your disaster recovery skill!
For the final section of your playbook, create a 3- to 4-page outline of backup policies for when the data center is inaccessible.
Complete the following in your outline:
* List the tools used for backup purposes.
* Explain the following:
* Where employees should work from that day
* How employees can get to their data
* The communication methods about updates
* Outline step-by-step instructions to recover your databases and telecommunications.
* Provide a step-by-step guide to recover and provide any additional company assets.
* Discuss policies for backup media storage.
* Discuss policies for encryption of backup data.
Note: Numbered or bulleted steps or guidelines make the document easy for others to follow under potential stressful situations. Paragraphs can be used to help support the steps or guidelines.
Cite at least 2 resources to support your assignment.
Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
Assignment checklist:
1. Title Page
2. Be sure to use the headings listed
3. The total “Backup Policies” section of the paper must be 1050 – 1400 words (about 3-4 pages
but I will be looking at word count)
4. Recommendation: Use the bullets or key points in the instructions and create corresponding heading and subheaders. This way it will be obvious that you hit the key points
5. Include at least two additional references that are properly cited for a total of at least six references
6. Any images must have a caption and reference in the paper.
7. Combine any screenshots (if used) and the remainder of the assignment into one APA formatted document. If you submit the assignment in multiple parts you will lose points
8. Follow APA format (fonts, etc) – For details on the formatting see the UOP library tab.
9. All assignments will be in MS Word format unless otherwise noted.
