Air gapped backups are super important. One of my clients once was gunned by an attacker that erased the backups off their NAS. I had pushed for them to have air gapped backups and they did but they didn't really believe in them. That made them a believer!

For really important stuff I have an air gap off site disk with a copy of everything (the problem there is remembering to refresh it).
