9.2.1.a Required Contingency Infrastructure<br />

• The use <strong>of</strong> data backup and restoration is an appropriate<br />

contingency measure for circumstances where data may<br />

become corrupted but primary systems continue to be<br />

available.<br />

be provided with sufficient fuel for at least 48 hours <strong>of</strong><br />

continuous operations.<br />
