Synnovis ransomware attack impacting NHS hospitals

You might have read the news about the Synnovis ransomware attack impacting blood transfusions and transplant surgeries in several NHS hospitals in London. Their CEO simply apologized for the \`inconvenience\`.

While I know that shit happens and hackers are scum I can\`t understand how come they don\`t have a backup solution for this kind of critical data and services. What am I missing, apart from \`we take cybersecurity very seriously, but we also care about reducing costs\`? :(
