Everyone agrees backups matter, right up until the day a backup is needed and turns out to be missing or broken. A little discipline now saves a great deal of pain later.
The 3-2-1 rule
Keep three copies of your data, on two different types of storage, with one copy kept off site. It is easy to remember and it covers the ways data tends to disappear.
Test the restore
A backup only counts if you can bring it back. Restore a file now and then so you know the whole chain actually works.
We can set this up for you and quietly keep an eye on it.
