Ivan is performing offline backups, as he is physically taking tape backups from the on-premises servers to an offsite location (a lockbox at a local bank). Offline backups involve physically moving the backup media away from the primary site for safekeeping, contrasting with online backups that would involve data being backed up to storage accessible over a network without the need to physically move the storage media.
