Backup Best Practices
1
Follow the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 different media types, 1 offsite location
2
Automate your backups so you never forget - set it and forget it
3
Test your backups regularly by attempting to restore files - a backup you can't restore is useless
4
Use encryption for sensitive data, especially on cloud backups
5
Keep backups offline or immutable to protect against ransomware attacks
