Critical data includes information essential to the operation of a business, such as customer databases, financial records, and proprietary information. This data must be identified and prioritized for effective business continuity planning. Backing up non-critical data, although important, does not have the same level of priority. Temporary files and system logs, while useful for various purposes, are generally not considered critical data and would not typically be the focus of immediate recovery efforts in most business continuity plans.
