The purpose of Data Backup Plan Template

The purpose of the Data Backup Plan is to establish and implement procedures to create and maintain retrievable exact copies of Critical Data Information and related technology components that are necessary for recovery activities.  This document will define the following standards for organization backup processing:

  1. To provide a standard operating procedure for backup up organizational data
  2. To provide a standard for labeling backup media
  3. To provide a standard for data retention
  4. To provide a standard for offsite storage and retrieval of backup media

The data backup plan allows the organization to meet the availability requirements of many regulatory compliance security rules for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical data information.
