VerifiedData Backup Strategies

To guard against a disaster or another site-specific issue, many people use this method to back up their media. The location may be as simple as the system administrator’s home office or as sophisticated as a disaster-hardened, temperature-controlled, high-security bunker with facilities for storing backup media. Which type of backup method is being described?

Explanation

Offsite backup stores media at a location separate from the primary system site, protecting the backup from disasters or other physical problems affecting that site. NIST describes offsite storage as a contingency measure for backup media and notes that physical backup media should be stored sufficiently far from the primary data location.
