Security Best Practices for Off-Site Backups Print

  • 0

Credential Handling

  • Use least-privilege credentials only
  • Do not use root/admin cloud credentials
  • Rotate keys periodically

Access Control

  • Restrict who can access your backup bucket/folder
  • Use IP allow-lists where supported

Encryption

  • Prefer providers with encryption at rest
  • Always use TLS/HTTPS endpoints

Separation of Duties

Keep at least one backup in a separate provider/account to reduce the risk of a single compromise wiping everything.
