Description
Discussion Text
Application developers and application administrators must take steps to ensure continuity of development effort and operations should a disaster strike.
Steps include protecting back-up copies of development code and application software.
Improper storage of the back-up copies can result in extended outages of the information system in the event of a fire or other situation that results in destruction of the back-up as well as the operating copy.
To address this risk, copies of application software and application source code must be stored in a fire-rated container or separately (offsite) from the operational or development environments.
