Planning Emergency Procedures › Off Site Storage

Off Site Storage

All of the CA Top Secret files should be backed up to tape or cartridge daily for off site storage:

• Security File
• Security File Backup
• Recovery File
• Audit/Tracking File
• CPF Recovery File
• Parameter File

CA recommends that the Security File reside on a different volume and string than that of the Backup and Recovery Files. This allows you to use the Backup and Recovery files to quickly and easily circumvent minor hardware problems which affect access to the Security File.
