Nine lines covering the machines on the floor, the servers behind them, the cloud tenants holding your mail and files, the books, the directory, and a scheduled restore that proves any of it comes back. Copies are the last honest control, because they still work after everything else has failed.
No misunderstanding costs a small business more than this one. The design goal behind Microsoft 365 and behind Google Workspace is that mail and files remain reachable and durable. Handing back what a departing employee deleted eleven months ago is not that goal, and the retention window shuts in both. Accounting is no different: QuickBooks Online owes you nothing when an import goes badly wrong.
So the tenant lines here are not decoration. They cover mail, files, sites, chat content, contacts, calendars, the ledger, and the directory configuration that is easy to forget about until the day you have to rebuild it from memory.
With hardware, choose by what you would need handed back. File history covers a workstation where the documents count for something and the machine does not. Take the whole image where the answer must be that machine, set up that way, trading by opening time. Servers and hypervisor guests want the database aware cards, since a database copied carelessly is not a copy anybody can use.
Restore verification is the card people leave out and regret leaving out. Recovery runs to a timetable and produces a dated record that it worked. Insurers ask for that record, auditors accept it, and you get to stop wondering.
