h.            Serversystems are used that haveprotection against moisture damage (e.g. moisturedetectors).

i.             Serversystems and services areused that maintain a backup system at other locationswhere current data iskept, thus providing a running system even in the event ofa disaster.

j. The client'sdata sets are protected fromaccidental modification or deletion by the system(e.g., through accessrestrictions, security queries, and backups).

k.            Serversystems and services are usedthat have an adequate, reliable, and controlledbackup & restorepolicy.
