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
