To ensure the availability of a backup, Trellix recommends the following testing backup restoration on a staging or non-production Manager server on a systematic basis.

To ensure the integrity of backups, Trellix recommends creating a digital "fingerprint" of all backup files using one-way hash functions such as MD5/SHA– 1 to detect tampering.

The following are general rules for protecting your backups:

  • Avoid creating additional database user accounts.

  • Block remote access to the database.

  • Restrict access to physical data files in the database install directory.
