Backup

A backup is a process of creating a duplicate copy of data to safeguard against data loss, corruption, or disaster. This copy is stored separately from the original data, often on different storage media or in a different physical location. Backups can be performed using various methods, including full backups, incremental backups, and differential backups. They are crucial for ensuring data availability and integrity, enabling organizations to recover data quickly and efficiently in the event of data loss or system failure. Regular backups are a fundamental component of a comprehensive data protection and disaster recovery strategy.
