Top Considerations for Implementing Secure Backup and Recovery

Overview In the last few years there have been many headlines about high-profile incidents of lost or stolen backup tapes.

Backup software, however, is optimized to simplify recovery, sometimes to a different platform or different location and often by someone other than the original owner of the data. Using the example of the most popular open source backup and recovery software, Amanda Enterprise, they will review best practices for ensuring security of backup data.
