The main device was stolen and the backup was also on the same device. What is the main problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both the original and backup may be lost
A backup is useful only when it provides an independent copy that can survive a failure affecting the original. If both the original and backup are stored on the stolen device, one theft can remove both copies. Keep another copy on a separate device or secure location and test that it can be restored.
