Securing Backup Media
Large companies typically back up their data using their network, with the backups stored on
the same type of secure servers on which the data itself resides. However, smaller companies
sometimes rely on data backups to external hard disks, optical media, and even memory
sticks and tape drives. The data is no safer than the physical safety of these backup devices.
Keep in mind that data can be stolen from backup devices just as easily as from the
original storage locations. Physically secure all backup devices and media, both from theft
and from accidents and disasters, such as fi res and fl ooding. Data should be stored off-site,
in a fi reproof safe.
