This doesn't backup the AD. Granted it's a small office of 12 PCs so it wouldn't take that long to rebuild user/computer accounts.
And is exactly my point. Because if you need more than just a file recovery from offsite backup, you are into a full DR and rebuilding a 12 person AD from scratch is way faster than restoring from offsite.
Sure, it would be faster than rebuilding from an offsite/cloud backup - but that's not what I have, we have onsite NAS backup, so that should be pretty fast.

Can't - the not so silent, silent partner refuses to allow them to use a cloud backup service. Hell, they won't even allow the company to do a backup over a VPN to another location.This is very common in healthcare actually
This client is not healthcare - just crazy.

Still does not mean it is right, nor does it mean that it is the problem of anyone in IT. Send confirmation of intent email and ignore. Because the business has decided what to do.
Hey I got to bill for an extra 10 hours building some crazy solution because of what they wanted.. so I'm fine.

No problem, just explain that it's not cloud at all, just hosted.
