Best Practices direct link to this section

• 3 copies of your data, where the first is the original or production data along with 2 more copies
• store data on 2 different forms of media
  • 1 copy off-site (cloud copy)

Do not store your backups on the exact same server which you are backing up. Read it, and then read it again.
