2.1.1 Backup Policy in Place

Information

A backup policy should be in place.

Rationale:

Backing up MySQL databases, including mysql, will help ensure the availability of data in the event of an incident. Without backups it might be hard to recover from an incident.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Create a backup policy and backup schedule.
