The Department of Defense would be required to develop and maintain backup systems to protect critical military data from being permanently lost, damaged, or destroyed by accidents, cyberattacks, or other incidents. This ensures that essential defense information can be quickly recovered and restored so military operations and decision-making aren't disrupted by data loss. The change affects how the Pentagon manages and safeguards its computer systems and information infrastructure.
