Disaster Recovery - Backup Configuration Coverage

Description

The percentage of systems with backups configured in accordance with their Service Level Objectives (SLO), ensuring critical data can be restored in the event of a failure, which is essential for maintaining business continuity and mitigating the impact of data loss.

How we measure it

Find all systems that require backups and match them against the backup platform's job configuration. Systems are considered compliant if a backup is configured at the frequency their SLO requires.
