They say one extra copy, one copy off site, maybe a backup to a “cloud” of choice (“3-2-1 rule”)… and you could do more than one of each of these

What are your tips on making backups?

    I prefer a variation of the Veeam 3-2-1-1-0 rule

    3 copies
    2 media
    1 other location 1 worm (write once, read many) 0 days since a failed job.

    just as important as taking backups is testing your backups. Not point backing up the data only to find when you need it the backups are dud.
