It’s not offsite backups that would have saved them, it’s offline backups.

You can have all the data centers you want, but if they’re all connected, then one ransomware attack can (and did) nuke them all.

If you have just one system that’s unplugged with a copy of all the data, then your data will be fine. It’s just time at that point, which could still be very very bad, but the data still exists.
