IT folken! If corpo borporate boss ever tells you to erase the security footage and/or logs, remember these magic words: “Sure just send the request in writing and I’ll get right on it.”
And maybe backup those logs to a thumbdrive if you feel comfortable with that.
Just backing you up, yeah… Physically taking tape backups to a secure offsite location is one of those best practices.
Hell, my personal back ups for my server are stored redundantly on one of my parents file servers. Same for their stuff on my server.
If there is a big enough disaster that both our servers locations are rendered damaged from it, we got bigger problems than a server, like a massive metroplex getting razed.

Tape backups are better, preferably at a secure off-site location that can be subpoenad by the DA.
Be careful about, and document, chain of custody so that this is more easily admissible in court.

Acting? Delivering backups to secure sites is a standard process and very mundane.
Not everything can go over the internet, due to security concerns or sheer size.

And get ready for the pool to flood the server room, just in case
