Business data backup best practices: the 3-2-1 rule, cloud vs local backup, ransomware-proof backups, and a disaster recovery plan for small business.
Keep at least three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy stored offsite (or offline). It protects you from hardware failure, theft, fire and ransomware at the same time.
Cloud backup is excellent for offsite protection, but pairing it with a local copy gives you faster restores and a fallback if your internet or cloud account is unavailable. The 3-2-1 rule recommends having both.
