Discussion

Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up log records to a different system or onto separate media from the system the application server is actually running on helps to assure that in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the log records will be retained.

Check Content

Review the application server configuration to determine if the application server backs up log records every seven days onto a different system or media from the system being logged.

If the application server does not back up log records every seven days onto a different system or media from the system being logged, this is a finding.

Fix Text
