"Organizations that are used to their local weather patterns tend to only plan for those patterns," Yu said. "When those patterns change, administrators now have to address new disaster possibilities that they might not have invested resources into. These include wildfires, blizzards or massive power grid failure."

A good place to start with data backups in general is to follow the 3-2-1-1 rule. A modified version of the traditional 3-2-1 rule, the 3-2-1-1 rule recommends three copies of data, including the original plus two backup copies; two different types of storage media; one copy kept off site to protect against localized disasters; and one copy kept offline in immutable storage to protect against ransomware.

It's a smart idea. A lot of people keep at least one offline back up of their important files but in the event of an emergency (fire, flood, etc.) it isn't much good if it's sitting next to what you are backing up.

I think that’s always what comes back to. Although what’s advocated for typically is 3-2-1.

I’m almost finished with implementing my full backup strategy. Feels good 😅
