Best Practice for performing backups on PDM Pro server

I'm concerned about data backups for our PDM server. I'm less inclined to trust the networking team to backup our data nightly and be able to restore it in a timely manner. I'm asking what lessons learned and best practices have been developed and shared in the community? What software is needed? Or can I just use the SQL Server Management Studio? I know I'll need to discuss with IT / Networking to agree on a location to copy the data onto another server. Hopefully I can perform incremental backups after the initial backup. Thank you.
