The one company that I know personally that was hit by ransomware, and paid off the attackers, managed their own backups Which were encrypted as well. IMO, it's not just the importance of backups, but of having third party, redundant, off-site backups.

If your backups do not already include the above, then it is not a viable backup strategy.
