How to Protect Backup Credentials From Routine Administrator Accounts

If normal administrator accounts can alter backup retention or delete recovery copies, a compromise or mistake can affect both production and backups.

Checks to make

Separate backup roles, restrict destructive actions, protect credentials with strong authentication, and alert on policy changes. Test recovery using a distinct account and verify emergency access is documented and controlled.
