If you are running a version of Exchange Server earlier than the Aug 2022 SU, We send you thoughts and prayers, and very strong but gentle guidance to update your servers to the latest SU immediately.

Does nobody make backups any more?

A lot of times the back-ups machines are always connected (or easily discovered since they're always online) which allows an attacker to remove the back-ups too.
