What's a Backup?
The copying and saving of data with the ability to restore it after an event of data loss is a backup. Otherwise identified as the process of backing up. Backing up data to the cloud represents one of the more significant Managed IT Solutions we provide.
Purpose of Backup
The purposes of a backup is two-fold. The first is to recover data after its loss, loss either by corruption, deletion or some other means. The second purpose is to recover data from a previous date and time. Although backups commonly constitute a form of disaster recovery, alone, backups should not be considered “disaster recovery”.
Forms of Backup
- USB Drive
- External Hard Drive
- Cloud Based Backup Solution
- Hosted Environment
- Virtual Server
Many businesses are familiar with backing up files to a USB drive or using a cloud storage service. This would probably be done by dragging a file onto a USB drive, cloud file or through the use of automated backups from developers like EaseUs, where pre-selected files are chosen for automatic backup at pre-determined dates and times. Of course, it can be more complicated, depending on the technology infrastructure of the business and the Managed IT Solutions being provided.
