Thinking about backups after a disaster occurs can be expensive. Backing up your company data is more complex than plugging in a usb and copying the information, or installing a backup software. It’s important to have a backup plan, but it’s also important to have a recovery plan and test your backup. Without testing your backups, you are really just leaving things up to chance and hoping you’ll be able to recover when it’s needed.

HIPAA requirements for example need you to have data confidentiality, data integrity, and accessibility.
