In the modern digital world, having data backed up is the basis of success in business. No business infrastructure is completely immune from disasters, be they the result of human error or malice, or perhaps a force majeure, and your only way of guaranteeing protection of your valuable data if disaster occurs is with a reliable backup solution in place. At present, cloud environments are popular in large part due to their affordability, availability (in about 99.99% of cases), and convenience, making them especially useful tools for storing backups. The 3–2–1 backup rule recommends that you have at least three copies of data, two of which are stored on different forms of media, one of which is stored offsite — in the cloud (remote backup), for example.
