Backing up for emergencies?

What is Offline Backup
Offline backup is a way of storing data that is off the internet. If that data needs to be read again, it will need to be physically moved back online.
Do consider that offline backups require time to be put back online, this may not fit your needs if data is urgently needed if lost. We always recommend cloud backup be a2nd line of defence, the1st being a backup you have at home.
