The 3-2-1 rule, made simple

3copies of anything important: the original plus two backups.
2different places or types, like an external drive and the cloud.
1copy away from the building, so a fire, flood or theft can't take everything.

Ransomware adds one more rule: keep at least one copy that isn't connected all the time, or that can't be changed once it's saved.
