Does your organization implement a tiered backup strategy with near-real-time backups for critical data and scheduled backups for other data?

A tiered backup strategy ensures different types of data are backed up according to their importance and recovery requirements. Critical data should be backed up continuously or in near-real-time to minimize potential data loss in case of an incident, while less critical data can follow regular backup schedules (daily, weekly, etc.) based on business needs and recovery objectives.

Evidence could include a documented backup policy that defines critical vs. non-critical data, backup schedules for different data types, and reports from backup systems showing successful execution of the defined backup schedules. Screenshots of backup system configurations showing real-time replication for critical systems and scheduled jobs for other systems would also serve as appropriate evidence.
