3-2-1 backup rule
immutable backup
The 3-2-1 rule recommends keeping three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy off site; an immutable backup cannot be modified or deleted for a set period.
In practice
Because ransomware tries to destroy backups, at least one copy must be offline or immutable, and restores must be tested regularly.
