The only backups that are working are those on extra different location offline storage.no backups = no data
1 backup = no backups
2 backups in different locations (geo/providers) = 1 backup.
also check backup consistency.
Then you have to check random regular on a different system, not in/on same network segments ! that those backups are working if restored to have your IT back and working.
( if possible offline)
This could be the only cure to prevent for example ransomware hacks.
Databases i do more backups , also manual once a month , or before and after changes in software of updates. To prevent errors made by myself for example.
You can do those by DA GUI, But i do them also in PHPMYADMIN and or ADMINER , check there the Character Set
Server admins, or even more important the Database Admins / Apllication admins should have/made extra backups and also some version registrations
Oyea i like printed materials ( backups on paper as printed invoices are) , you can heath your house with it to save some energy costs. haha
