Keep a tested way into the backup console that does not use the company sign-in

Yes 2

Written down, with a date (a log, a screen, a document), and it meets your own plan.

Partly 1

Remembered, but not written down, or the record shows you missed your plan.

No 0

Nobody knows, or it was never done. A blank is a finding.

"None, checked on a date" counts as a record. No plan or target written down? Write your guess first, then measure: the guess is your plan.

Tap No, Partly or Yes for each question. Your score adds up as you go. Nothing you tap is saved or sent.

Five questions about your own setup

1. 1 Signed in without the directory

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) What date did you last sign in to the backup console with an account it checks itself, not through the directory?

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Try it, in a quiet hour. Find the account in the console's own user list, sign in with it, and write down the date.

   To get it to a 2:

   You signed in this way, the date is written down, and it is inside the interval your team sets. No interval written down? Write your guess and score against it.

   What this does not prove:

   One sign-in proves the account worked today, not that the person who needs it can find the details.

2. 2 Where its details are kept

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) Where are that account's details kept, and who can open them? Is the answer two people, in two places?

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Look for a sealed envelope, a safe, or an offline password vault. A file on the shared drive needs the network.

   To get it to a 2:

   Kept offline, in two places, reachable by two named people, checked on a date.

3. 3 The array's screen too

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) What date did you last do the same for the storage array's management screen (the page you use to manage the storage hardware)?

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Try it the same way, with an account the array checks itself.

   To get it to a 2:

   You signed in this way, and the date is written down.

4. 4 Two people who can open it

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) Who are the two people who can open those details, by name?

   Your answer

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Ask them. If only one person can, or nobody is sure, that is the finding.

   To get it to a 2:

   Two named people, written down, and both have opened the details once, with the date.

5. 5 The last time it was used

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) What date did someone last sign in with the emergency account, and when were its details last changed?

   Your answer

   No 0Partly 1Yes 2
   Score 0, 1 or 2This quarterNext quarter

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   The console's audit log, or the note kept with the details.

   To get it to a 2:

   A dated sign-in inside the interval your team sets. No interval written down? Write your guess and score against it.

   What this does not prove:

   A dated sign-in shows it worked then, not that it will work on the day or that a restore would.
