I have a financial broker that needs offsite backups, but as
a financial institution they have more sensitive information then I am used to
dealing with out side the confines of the government and I am not sure what
needs to be done (legal speaking) to protect the data. I would like to
slap some cheep server in a cheep colo with an encrypted drive and just pump automated
backups over an ssh tunnel using rsync (Like I do for my companies backups) but
I do not know if there are any specific security (Physical and encryption) rules
that I need to meet. Rite now my companies back up server rotates through
the homes of the key players, but I don’t think that is a good idea for a
machine that holds non-public information.
I know there are a few of you who work (or worked) for
other, larger, financial institutions. How did you handle offsite
backups?
It’s late and been a long day so if this message does
not make sense let me know ;)
