Best Practice for Backing Up

My project management team joined Smartsheet about 6 months ago and have created quite the plethora of sheets. All of them are in use as we are managing a very large project, so I do not want to delete any (and as we have so many paid users, we are far from our sheet limit) and they are all dynamic/active sheets.
However, we are very much relying on Smartsheet for tracking progress and documents (we do not nessesarily keep track on other platforms or drives).
ย
My question is, what is the best practice with this platform for backing up? Do people back up a workspace on a regular basis "just in case" something were to go wrong on the backend of Smartshee? It would be quite the problem for us if the system were to crash.
ย
Thanks!ย

Hello,
ย
For me, I try and do weekly backups but then I also do a special backup if I've made some kind of massive change. Either a lot of data changed, or maybe adding new sheets to a workspace.
ย
Basically for me, if I don't want to have to re-enter something massive, I go ahead and backup.
ย
Take care,
ย
