Configuring database backup doesn’t mean your business has attained a “high security rating” when it comes to data loss. We always recommend our customers to always store redundant copies of your backups over disparate locations to satisfy your RTO and RPO needs. Having reliable backups in a sole destination (such as your on-site copy) without dispersing off-site increases risk for your organization. Not only is your data at risk, but also your underlying mission critical systems and its architecture. Every component is vital to make your business run smoothly and function healthy at normal times.
