Backups Are Part of Security Architecture
If your only recovery path is online storage that administrators can delete with one compromised credential, you do not truly have ransomware resilience. Modern programs pair 3-2-1 copies (three total, two media types, one off-site) with immutability or write-once retention so attackers cannot silently wipe history.
Questions to Ask Your Provider
Where is the immutable copy stored, and who can alter retention policies?
Is there an air-gapped or offline replica that cannot be reached from production AD?
How often do you perform test restores to cold storage or alternate regions?
What is the RTO/RPO commitment after a crypto incident?
Align With Insurance and Compliance
Cyber insurers increasingly expect evidence of backup testing. If you handle regulated data, document who approves retention changes. Tie this discipline to broader continuity planning in DR versus BCP for Southern California risks.
