Explanation

Business continuity planning focuses on maintaining operations during and after a disruptive event. To protect against data loss, the most effective strategy is to regularly back up data and store those backups in geographically separated locations. This ensures that a single physical disaster (fire, flood, earthquake) cannot destroy both the primary systems and the backups simultaneously. Training addresses human readiness, cyber insurance provides financial recovery, and access restrictions are a physical security control - none of these directly prevent data loss.
