Stop trusting host backups, here's how to break up with them

Stop trusting host backups, here's how to break up with them
Host-provided backups are a convenience for THEM, not insurance for you. Exit plan:
— Read the actual SLA, find the line where they promise nothing on data loss
— Ask support to restore a single file, time how long and how painful it is
— Stand up your own pipeline that exports off their network entirely
— Schedule it to a provider that isn't your host
— Cancel the mental dependency, keep theirs only as a bonus
The day your host gets ransomware, their backup is encrypted with everything else. Fight me in the comments.
