Only if you keep them a reasonable time and the backups will gradually be purged.
You can't keep indefinite backups and comply with GDPR.
So if your 5 year old backup, which has no purpose at all, gets stolen, expect a whopping fine for being an idiot. Or your web logs get stolen and it turns out you keep them 2 years, don't expect favourable treatment as that's totally unnecessary data retention.
