Backups are essential—but they’re not a silver bullet. Even a “ransomware-proof” backup won’t help much if you can’t recover quickly and cleanly when it counts. Here’s what solid preparedness really looks like.
Start with the 3-2-1 Backup Rule (But Don’t Stop There)
3 copies of your data
2 different storage media (e.g., local NAS + cloud)
1 off-site, isolated from your network (immutable if possible)
This dramatically reduces the chance you’ll lose data if attackers encrypt your environment.
