Learning the ranks

Rank 1

Turn it on today

Turn on automatic backup today: a cloud folder or an external drive with the built-in OS backup. One copy of anything is zero copies, eventually.

Rank 2

3-2-1

Follow 3-2-1: three copies, two different media, one offsite (cloud counts). Test the restore once; an untested backup is a prayer.

Rank 3

Survive ransomware

Keep version history long enough to survive ransomware (it deletes reachable backups first) and keep the offsite copy disconnected from daily logins. Healthstones are conjured before the fight.
