Offsite backups Memes

Storing your backups in the same physical location as your primary data. That's not disaster recovery, that's just organizing your failure into one convenient location. When that datacenter floods, catches fire, or gets hit by a meteor, at least everything will be destroyed efficiently. It's like keeping your spare tire inside the car that's on fire. The whole point of offsite backups is in the name: off -site. Not same-site, not kinda-nearby-site, but actually-somewhere-else-site. This is why cloud providers have multiple availability zones and why your boss will have multiple heart attacks when they find out about your backup strategy.
