Ask What Can Change Your Backups
Advanced Managed IT Technology ยท Archive date: September 30, 2024
If an attacker gains administrative access, can they delete your backup history? That question deserves a place beside the usual discussion of storage capacity and backup frequency.
Immutable storage can help protect backup data against alteration or deletion during a defined retention period. Its effectiveness depends on configuration, access controls, and the surrounding recovery design. Ask who can change retention settings, how backup administration is separated, and whether the restore process has been tested.
Treat immutability as one layer in a broader plan. Your team still needs usable copies, recovery instructions, and people who understand which systems should return first after an interruption.
