It depends on the size/“disruptiveness” of the company but yeah. You either have your own tape back up system or you contract out to someone who does and try not to think about what it means to be doing a glorified rsync of all your data offsite every week.
I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say anyone doing genuine offsite backups using a spinning disc is wrong but…

I can’t criticize other hobbyists. I only back up locally and I use Synology Hybrid Raid to do it.
