Disaster Recovery Planning

It is not necessary to implement strict controls over both physical and logical data to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or tampering.

Encrypting backup media is not a recommended practice, especially when they are in transit.

It is advisable to keep the offsite storage library in close proximity to the data center to facilitate easier access in times of need.

Maintaining an inventory of all storage media and files stored in the offsite library is not necessary for ensuring data security.

The offsite facility should aim to have less environmental monitoring and control compared to the originating site for cost-saving purposes.

Secondary storage media used for backup purposes can include removable media and mirrored disks.

Maintaining the inventory of the remote storage facility is always done manually by the offsite librarian.

The number and locations of offsite libraries are determined solely based on the size of the organization.

As information increases, manual inventories of tape backups become less challenging due to technological advancements.

In the event of a disaster, the offsite storage library may become the only remaining copy of an organization's data.
