Backup Policies

How Backup Evaluation Works

BrainstormMSP evaluates:

**Backup Success** - Did the last backup complete?

**Backup Currency** - Is the backup within policy timeframe?

**Immutability** - Is ransomware protection enabled?

**Recovery Testing** - Has restore been verified?

CIS Control Mapping

Acronis data maps to these CIS safeguards:

CIS 11.2 - Perform automated backups

CIS 11.3 - Protect recovery data

CIS 11.4 - Establish and maintain isolated recovery data

CIS 11.5 - Test backup recovery

Alert Configuration

Configure Backup Alerts

Set up notifications for backup issues:

1. Go to **Settings > Alerts**

2. Enable **Backup Failure Alert**

3. Configure recipients

4. Set severity thresholds:

- Warning: Backup older than 24 hours

- Critical: Backup older than 48 hours

Automated Remediation

Optionally enable auto-remediation:

Create PSA ticket on failure

Retry failed backups automatically

Escalate persistent failures
