Overview Of Data Recovery In Cybersecurity Training PPT

Slide 2

This slide introduces the concept of data backup and recovery. A data backup is a copy of computer data taken and stored elsewhere, such as a hard drive, to restore the original in case a data loss event occurs.

Slide 3

This slide lists types of backups. These are: Standard, system, and incremental & differential backups. 

Instructor’s Notes:

• Standard Backups: Standard backups create copies of files from one or more systems across a network
• System Backups: System backups are complete copies of a system, including the settings and preferences of the operating system
• Incremental & Differential Backups: Incremental and differential backups emphasize changes between files on a system. A differential backup just backs up files that have changed since the last backup. Incremental backups only back up the changed data found in files. Incremental backups are considerably faster than differential backups

Slide 4

This slide tells us about backup strategy. A backup strategy defines data protection goals that direct data backup and recovery policy actions. 

Slide 5

This slide discusses backup policies and their importance. A backup policy defines schedules that allow an independent disk to receive copied data for recovery. The backup system ensures recovery from unintentional data deletion, corruption events, data breaches, or hardware failure that cause an outage.

Slide 6

This slide provides guidance on how to make an effective data backup policy. This entails designing a system, creating a schedule, documentation of data backup, data retention policy, and maintaining logs. 

Slide 7

This slide talks about designing a system as the first step in developing an effective backup policy. To create an effective backup policy, you must implement a system that will allow you to execute your backup strategy to protect and restore data after accidental loss or corruption.

Slide 8

This slide points out the importance of creating a schedule to develop an effective backup policy. Setting up a clearly defined schedule for your backup procedures is crucial to prevent complete data loss.

Slide 9

This slide discusses the documentation of secure data backups and restoration as a part of developing an effective backup policy. This documentation should outline installation procedures for backing up new systems.

Instructor’s Notes: This information reduces the risk of prolonged downtime for organizations when incidents occur. The documentation should be regularly reviewed and updated to match any new backup platform or software changes.

Slide 10

This slide tells us what to include in backup and restoration procedure documentation.

Slide 11

This slide gives information about data retention policy. The next area of focus is to develop a data retention policy. This policy defines how long backups are kept for each sub-system within the backup system.

Slide 12

This slide gives an overview of the 3-2-1 rule for backups. When considering retention needs, business owners should also consider the 3-2-1 rule. The rule is to keep at least 3 copies of your data, store 2 backup copies on individual storage media, with one of these stored offsite.

Slide 13

This slide talks about the last step of developing an effective backup policy, which is logging restoration test results. An effective backup policy should comprise periodic tests to measure the backups’ effectiveness and identify and address any issues.
