Check Text (C-206459r960948_chk)

Review the SSP, backup media documentation, and system backup configuration. Verify the Central Log Server system is backed up to media capable of guaranteeing file integrity for a minimum of five years. If the Central Log Server does not retain backups for a minimum of five years for SAMI and a minimum of seven days for non-SAMI, this is a finding. If the Central Log Server system backups are not stored on appropriate media capable of guaranteeing file integrity for a minimum of five years for systems retaining SAMI, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-6719r864171_fix)

Configure the Central Log Server to retain backups of system information for a minimum of five years for SAMI and a minimum of seven days for non-SAMI. Select backup media that guarantees file integrity for a minimum of five years for systems retaining SAMI. Document the required retention period in the SSP.
