Why backups[edit]
Storage devices are unreliable.
Backup Redundancy[edit]
It is often recommended:
- 1) local storage
- 2) backup on another drive
- 3) off-site backup: Either in a different physical location. This is to protect from theft, fire or similar. However, comes with different risks. Therefore Full Disk Encryption is recommended.
The more important the data is, the more redundancy is recommended.
Cloud Based Backups[edit]
Cloud backups are also an option but even if encrypted, it can be safely assumed many adversaries will keep a copy of the encrypted data hoping to one day be able to break the encryption. Cascading encryption is recommended when doing cloud based backups.
