Typically the risk isn't theft, but employee shenanigans or fire.įor Home, the goal is different. So email is in the cloud, daily backups to the cloud, and the ransomwared/lost/destroyed PC get thrown out and replaced with a new one. So they can be transported to a cold storage facility like Iron Mountain (example) for long term storage.īacking up to the source NAS pretty much defeats the purpose of a ransonware backup plan.įor a small business, the goal shouldn't be a perfect backup, but rather to get up and running ASAP.
