CISM study material · question 894 of 1000

Beyond confirming data is stored correctly, which further backup-media test does NIST recommend?

  1. Testing by a third-party auditor annually
  2. Testing at the alternate site, to confirm that site supports the same backup configuration
  3. Testing the restoration onto hardware that is identical to that already used in the production estate
  4. Testing after every media rotation cycle
Show the answer

Answer: B. Testing at the alternate site, to confirm that site supports the same backup configuration

SP 800-34r1's footnote recommends testing backup media regularly to ensure data is being stored correctly and can be retrieved, and testing at the alternate site to confirm the site supports the same backup configuration.
