Most setups have something in place. The question is whether that something would hold on the worst day. A safety net that actually catches you tends to do all three of these, not just one.
A backup sat next to the server goes down with it: one fire, flood, theft or ransomware hit takes both at once. A copy held somewhere separate is what is still there when the original is gone.
Backups that run are not the same as backups that come back. The only way to know is to actually restore from one and see it boot. An untested backup is a hope, not a safety net.
Ransomware goes for the backups first, because that is what would get you back. A copy kept where it cannot be reached or changed is the one that brings the business back up.
"Most owners don't want a lecture about backups. They want to know one thing: if it all went wrong tonight, would they get their business back. So that is what I check, honestly and in plain English. Where your data really lives, whether a restore actually works, and whether anyone would even notice if it stopped. I have spent twenty-plus years doing exactly this for places with a lot more than a server room on the line, so yours is very doable. No jargon, no quote padded with kit you do not need."
