Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Legal Data Backup?

Legal Data Backup is the process of securely copying and storing client files, matter records, emails, and case-management data so they can be restored after accidental deletion, corruption, cyberattack, or disaster—while preserving confidentiality and chain-of-custody expectations.

2. How is backup different from archiving and retention?

Backups create recoverable copies for business continuity; archives store information long term for reference or eDiscovery; retention policies define how long specific data must be kept and when it can be defensibly deleted.

3. Which compliance requirements affect legal data backups?

Law firms often align with American Bar Association (ABA) cybersecurity guidance and may be subject to frameworks like GDPR or HIPAA (when handling PHI). Backups should support encryption, access controls, audit logs, and documented retention schedules.

4. What backup strategy does CMIT Solutions of Bothell and Renton recommend?

A 3-2-1 strategy: at least three copies of data, on two different media, with one copy offsite/immutable. We pair this with automated, scheduled backups, verification, and documented recovery runbooks specific to each practice area.

5. How do you protect backups from ransomware?

By using immutable or air-gapped storage, MFA on backup consoles, least-privilege access, encryption at rest and in transit, continuous monitoring, and routine recovery drills to ensure clean restore points are available.

6. Do cloud apps like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and legal SaaS need backups?

Yes. Vendor platforms protect infrastructure, but firms remain responsible for data-level recovery. We back up mail, OneDrive/Drive, SharePoint, Teams, and leading legal SaaS to independent, searchable, and exportable storage.

7. What RPO and RTO should a law firm target?

RPO (how much data you can lose) and RTO (how quickly you must recover) depend on case deadlines and court schedules. Many firms target RPOs from 15 minutes to 4 hours and RTOs under the working day for critical systems.

8. How often should backups be tested?

At least quarterly for full restore tests, with monthly spot-recoveries of files and application-level restores. We document results, remediate gaps, and update runbooks to keep audits and real incidents frictionless.

9. How long should legal data be retained?

Retention varies by jurisdiction, practice area, and engagement terms. We help align backup retention with firm policies, client agreements, and regulatory requirements, including litigation holds and WORM/immutable retention when needed.
