Home / Cloud Services / Cloud Backup & Recovery
Online backup and recovery, also known as cloud backup, is a strategy wherein data is sent, securely to a secondary offsite storage for preservation, in the event of a disaster or equipment failure. These storage systems are hosted by a third-party cloud services provider and are subscription-based, with fees dependent on the number of users, storage space and the number of times the data is accessed. Implementing Cloud Backup (DLOCK) can make certain that your company’s data is protected in the event of a disaster and ensures your ability to recover quickly, without the need for additional IT staff.
How Cloud Backup Works
Cloud backup services are scheduled to run at predetermined times, in order to ensure maximum protection against data loss. For example, a customer may wish to back up their data daily so, every 24 hours, the application will collect, compress, encrypt and transfer their data to the offsite cloud backup server. To reduce the time and the bandwidth involved, and for efficiency, the backup may only consist of changes to the data since it was last backed up to the cloud.
What Options Does Cloud Backup Provide?
Cloud backup can be configured to meet the needs of each individual business. The following options are available:
- Full Backups
Full backups will copy the entire dataset every time a backup is initiated, providing the highest level of protection. These backups can be time consuming, however, as many organizations have too much data to do a full back up on a frequent basis.
- Incremental Backups
Incremental backups only backup the data that has changed since the last backup. While this method saves time, it can be more difficult and time consuming to do a complete restore should the need ever arise, if you are using this backup method.
- Differential Backups
Differential backups are very similar to Incremental backups because they only contain data that has been altered. This type of backup, however, also backs up data that has been updated since the last full back up, not incremental backups, making it less complicated and time consuming to restore the complete data set, should the need arise.
A strategic feature of cloud backup restorations is that they can be performed from any type of computer from anywhere the administrator has access to the internet. For example, an administrator could recover their data and restore it to another remote server, if they do not have access to their primary data center.
