Backup & Recovery Awareness Games
Practise backup and recovery decisions. Explore the difference between synchronising files and maintaining recoverable copies.
Questions about CyberPlay training
Why do backups matter?
Backups provide copies that can help restore information after deletion, device failure or an attack. Synchronisation alone can also copy an unwanted change, so recoverability needs to be checked.
Use your organisation’s approved backup process and test restoration. Keep recovery copies protected from the failures or attacks that could affect the originals.
Warning signs to recognise
- There is only one copy of important information.
- A backup has never been tested by restoring files.
- Backup copies can be changed or deleted using the same compromised account.
