Could you store a checksum of the backup with an NFT? Think I just threw up a little bit there, but perhaps there is actually a use case for them them. At least it proves the backup remains since it was created regardless of how many copies you have

This is perhaps more useful, serving as both checksum and data correction.

Not that it can fit in the blockchain though. At least from what little I know about blockchains, they can't possibly store any substantial amount of data.
