Danish hosting firms CloudNordic and AzeroCloud have suffered ransomware attacks, causing the loss of the majority of customer data and forcing the hosting providers to shut down all systems, including websites, email, and customer sites.
The 3-2-1 backup strategy: “Three copies are made of the data to be protected, the copies are stored on two different types of storage media and one copy of the data is sent off site.”
Any redundant backup strategy uses both. They both have inherent data loss risks. Local backups are great, but unless you live in a bunker they are still at risk to fire, theft, vandalism and natural disasters. A good backup strategy stores copies in at least three locations. Local, off-site and the cloud. Off-site is a backup you can physically retrieve. Like tapes stored in a vault.
Time and time again, data hosting providers are proving that local backups not connected to the internet are way better than storing in the cloud.

How would that work in practice? 1 medium offsite, and 2 mediums on-premises?
Exactly.
This is the way.
