Any insurer will have an initial state you have to meet to get insurancem and they audit that and sign you up. They should then follow up every listed time period (annually, weekly, daily, hourly etc) to make sure you running properly. That way, all you will use is the changes that occur in the listed period. This may mean hourly backups offsite - all you lose is one hour's worth.
Then, the insurance company and the insured company must rigorously keep to that routine.Experience shows that people get slack, they skip backups and other forms of lazy boys at work - they still cash their paychecks very regularly though - never skip that.
Tis is a typical civil service operation. highly paid union people locked into their jobs, their IT knowledge frozen in time years back and useless now. Older 'rusty' people can not be fired, so that current IT capable new people can be hired, and if you hire a consultant it will also be unionised (Yes, Toronto has a law that says that). so they stumble on until shit happens.
Quite a few escape this fate, get good IT people and keep it up, these idiots are a rare exception
