Ransomware attack! Cloud outage! Stolen laptop!
Can you now locate and provide your last quarter's payroll report after a serious IT "glitch"?
Backup management is all about answering "yes" to that question, in the face of adversity.
"Yes", you have a backup. In fact, "yes", you have three backups. One of them here, with you. The others, elsewhere. Air-gapped. Safe.
There are numerous strategies and associated jargon with data backups. Because of course there is! 🙄
Grandfather-father-son, full/incremental/differential, RTO, RPO, 3-2-1, immutable, air-gapped... It's enough to make your head spin, let alone a tape spool.

The purpose of data backup is restoration.
Data integrity is an oft-overlooked consideration.
Are you 100% confident that the data you are sending to back-up is a binary-identical copy of the source data on disk? Will a restoration actually work? Is the backup media storing a completely valid backup image in and of itself?
How can you even search your backup for files?
For long-term data security, a backup and recovery plan is a must.
