Which part isn't correct? What op described sounds like a good and easy way to do it (as long as you have sane retention periods) and doesn't seem to conflict with the article you linked in any way (in fact, they agree).

In addition you have to tell the customer how long you retain your backups (and only retain them for a reasonable time) and only restore for purely technical reasons.
