Will it also have to be removed from backups?

Almost certainly yes. Otherwise it's not actually removed.
I've seen court ordered removal before and no one even considered backups and the impact on backup integrity had it been removed from backups. Especially when considering off site backups that the company will often not have immediate access to.
