Discuss about an effective backup strategy plan for a recover plan to be successful. If you do not have a proper backup then you will not be able to restore the necessary data, system or operation.
For this assignment you will develop your backup strategy policy. You need to develop the plan for the highest priority (major systems/data). These would be the components from your business impact analysis that are necessary for the business operations functionality.
Develop a written backup plan that tells you:
What’s being backed up
Where it’s being backed up
How often backups will occur
Who’s in charge of performing backups
Who’s in charge of monitoring the success of these backups
Resources:
A sample data backup policy template from http://dept.wofford.edu/it/Data%20Backup%20Policy.pdf is available here or is found in the Templates folder in the left navigation panel.

Assignment:
Create the backup strategy plan from your organization scenario. Make sure you include your IT Backup team members/structure. Note: Your plan will not necessarily cover all data/systems in the template but should include the vital information about the systems and procedures for at least two categories. Don’t forget about internal elements, external assets, third-party resources, linkages to other offices/clients/vendors, etc.
