Step 3: Backup Locations How Many Locations Should You Backup To?

Discuss options for at least two backups, and how to design a backup policy and plan that has considered what the various “worst case scenarios” might be given their particular circumstances, such as:

•Office raids (by law enforcement or otherwise)
•Confiscation of devices
•Loss of password or access control (forgotten, departing staff, etc.)
•Natural disasters (floods, fire, earthquake, etc.)
Base your recommendations on the concerns raised by participants for their particular situations and environments. Mention that you’ll be focusing on these also during the wrap-up for the session, to help solidify strategies for using the selected tool(s) for this session in the implementation of their backup policies.
