Data Backup
The process of creating copies of data that can be used to restore original information if it is lost, corrupted, or destroyed.
What Is Data Backup?
Data backup creates recoverable copies of business data stored separately from the primary systems. The 3-2-1 backup rule recommends keeping three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy offsite (typically in the cloud). Modern backup solutions provide automated scheduling, incremental backups (only changes since last backup), encryption, and rapid restore capabilities
Regular backups protect against ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion, and natural disasters. Without reliable backups, data loss can be permanent and devastating to a business.
