Regular backups are essential to safeguard against data loss due to catastrophic events, malware, or corruption. Best practices suggest implementing a 3-2-1 backup strategy – keeping at least three copies of your data, with two on different media and one located offsite. Additionally, periodic backup integrity and restoration process testing are crucial to ensure data can be recovered when needed.
