Starting July 31st, 2020, Salesforce will no longer provide data backup recovery services in the case of data loss. While this is definitely a big deal for Salesforce users, don’t worry, there are plenty of options to ensure you keep your data safe in the event of catastrophe.
In addition to the comments you can find on that site, at CloudMyBiz, we wanted to add the on that the best practice is to start planning for this change now.
Take a look at your processes and figure out what options will best suit your needs
Best practices include periodically exporting all of your data for backup, and also doing an export before any major development is deployed.
When it comes to choosing a data tool, the Salesforce Data Loader is a great, native option, but we recommend each business do their own research into tools, including 3rd part options, and find the one that best suits their individual needs.

If you have sensitive or important data stored on Salesforce, this app provides an easy way to backup your files. Select standard or custom objects and schedule a data export to your Google Drive or Dropbox account. You can also set up recurring exports, allowing you to do a one time setup, and have your pertinent data automatically moved where you need it, when you need it.
“View and select objects that are accessible to your Salesforce account, link your Dropbox and Google Drive accounts to Data Explorer, enter multiple email address so others can get updates on the export and set up recurring schedules.”
