Develop procedures to back up all ACP files needed for recovery on a scheduled basis.
Identify the ACP database and ensure that documented processes are in place to back up its contents on a regularly scheduled basis.
At a minimum, this should include nightly backup of the ACP databases and of other critical security files (such as the ACP parameter file). More frequent backups (two or three times daily) will reduce the time necessary to effect recovery. The ISSO will verify that the backup job(s) run successfully.
Ask the system administrator to determine that procedures exist to back up the security data base and files. Have the system administrator identify the dataset names and frequency of the backups.
If, based on the information provided, it can be determined that the ESM database is being backed up on a regularly scheduled basis, this is not a finding.
If it cannot be determined that the ESM database is being backed up on a regularly scheduled basis, this is a finding.
