Reminder to not only have backups, but also have some periodic OFFLINE backups.
If your primary is set up with credentials to automatically transfer a copy to the backup destination over the network, what happens if your primary gets pwned and the access is used to encrypt or delete the backup?
Secondly, test doing restores of your backups, and have methods/procedures in place for exactly what a restore looks like.

S3 lifecycle rules take care of pruning old backups. You can also build a pull-based system where auth resides on the backup system, not the production system.
