What are Backups?

About Backups

Backups refer to the process of creating copies of data to protect against data loss. These copies can be stored on various media such as external drives, cloud storage, or other remote servers. Backups are essential for data protection, ensuring that information can be recovered in case of hardware failure, accidental deletion, or cyberattacks. Regular backups are a critical component of any robust data management strategy.
