Which of the following is the MOST important factor when determining where to store company backups?

Offsite storage cost is an important consideration for budget, but it is secondary to the security and recoverability of the data itself.

Backup rotation is a strategy for managing backup media or versions, not a primary factor in the security or suitability of the storage location.

Onsite storage cost is a factor in budget planning, but the security of the backups is more critical than the cost when determining where to store them.

Backup security is paramount because if backups are compromised, encrypted, stolen, or otherwise made inaccessible or unreliable, they cannot serve their purpose of data recovery, regardless of their location or cost.
