Local copies, cloud copies, and tested restores—why one USB stick is not enough.

Key takeaways

Deeper dive

Keep three copies of important data, on two different media, with one off-site (often encrypted cloud). Snapshots are not backups if ransomware can encrypt them—use immutable or air-gapped targets where possible.

Test restores quarterly; log who performed the test and how long a full recovery took.
