The importance of Data Backup
Data is vulnerable to fire, flood, theft of equipment, and corruption due to system failure, user error, malicious internal or external activity, and malware.
Backups are also vulnerable to corruption and should be checked regularly for integrity and consistency with the data source.
An archive of data backup should be maintained as corruption may not be detected until after the older backups have been overwritten, or older backup may need to be reviewed for evidence of activities which have since been deleted from the company systems.
The importance of continuity planning
Following a data risk assessment and GAP analysis, every business should have a plan for how data will be recovered, and systems brought back online following an incident. As well as how the systems will be recovered, the plan should also describe the Recovery Time Objectives (the acceptable downtime), and Recovery Point Objectives (the frequency of data backups and its oldest copy, taking into account companies contractual obligations to its customers and the potential costs of loss of services.
The myth of secure cloud services
It is a common misconception that services hosted in the cloud are all backed up. Many are, but you should check with your cloud service provider as to what is included in their backup and recovery planning.
For example, Microsoft includes deleted item retention for Exchange Online and OneDrive of 14 and 30 days respectively. This is not a backup, and following a data risk assessment, an additional backup and recovery plan should be implemented.
