  2. How often should the backup be performed? Consider how often you need to create backups to ensure your data is up to date.

  4. How long do I need to keep backups? Define your retention policy. How long do backups need to be kept to meet legal and business requirements?

  6. Which backup method is best? There are different backup methods such as full, differential and incremental backups. Choose the method that best suits your requirements.

  7. How quickly do I need to be able to restore data? Consider the recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). This depends on how important the data is and how quickly it needs to be restored.

  8. How secure are my backups? Make sure your backup solution offers security measures such as encryption and access control to protect your data.
