So whether it is personal or business data that are important or a better term to call is sensitive data should be stored properly with proper backup. Moreover, you might need this data even after a long time. For example, what if you need to check on the account statements in the financial year of 2017 today? You have to check back for the data to 3 years. And probably your devices might not have them as it was not used in the past 3 years.
