Backup and recovery describes the process of creating and storing copies of data that can be used to protect organizations against data loss. This is sometimes referred to as operational recovery. Recovery from a backup typically involves restoring the data to the original location, or to an alternate location where it can be used in place of the lost or damaged data.
The purpose of the backup is to create a copy of data that can be recovered in the event of a primary data failure. Primary data failures can be the result of hardware or software failure, data corruption, or a human-caused event, such as a malicious attack (virus or malware), or accidental deletion of data. This additional medium can be as simple as an external drive or something more substantial, such as a disk storage system, cloud storage container.
A robust backup strategy ensures business continuity. Whether it's accidental deletion, hardware failure, or a security incident, having reliable backups means you can restore operations quickly and minimize downtime.
