Procedure Summary<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Routine electronic backups of data and systems are a requirement to enable the recovery of data and applications in case of events such as natural disasters, system disk drive failures, corruption, data entry errors, or system operations errors. The purpose of this standard is to establish the process for the backup and storage of electronic information.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This standard applies to Tarleton State University information resources that contain mission critical information. It provides a set of measures that will mitigate information security risks associated with the backup and recovery of information. There may also be other or additional measures that will provide appropriate mitigation of the risks. The assessment of potential risks and the application of appropriate mitigation measures are to be determined by the information resource owner or their designee. In accordance with Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 202 – Information Security Standards<\/a>. As per TAC \u00a7202.72<\/a>, an information resource owner that decides not to implement some or all of the standards provided in this SAP must justify and document such exceptions based on information security risk management decisions and\/or business functions. The information resource owner must then report any exceptions to these standards to the designated information security officer (ISO)\/chief information security officer (CISO). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This SAP applies to all university staff responsible for the support and operation of university information resources that contain mission critical information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
