Best Practices
--------------
Even with proper backups the risk of data corruption is always non-zero. Therefore it is recommended to take additional care when backing up highly valuable or irreplaceable data like a lightning node:
* High quality SSDs should be favored over HDDs as a backup target.
* Backup to multiple targets.
* If backing up to multiple targets make sure all backups are up to date.
