Discussion

This control requires the network device to support the organizational central backup process for system-level information associated with the network device. This function may be provided by the network device itself; however, the preferred best practice is a centralized backup rather than each network device performing discrete backups.

Check Content

Identify/validate Sentry support for periodic backups. 

This is done via the virtual machine.

Check with the virtual team to verify backups are scheduled.

If the backups are not scheduled, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Ensure the virtual solution provides periodic backups.
