Explanation

The key requirement is protection against both local natural disasters AND hardware failures. A cloud backup solution stores data off-site on remote servers, so a flood, fire, or other local disaster that destroys the hardware will not also destroy the backup. An agent-based solution automates the process with scheduled, incremental backups. Grandfather-father-son rotation and local network share backups are both on-premises solutions - they protect against hardware failure but are vulnerable to the same local disaster that destroys the original machine. Manually saving to an external drive is unreliable, prone to human error, and still physically co-located with the PC.
