Managed services are integral to the way organizations function in the world today. They are instrumental in streamlining services and simplifying day-to-day functions, thus improving the efficiency of operation. Cloud services have been around for a while; however; the infrastructure and hardware have finally caught up to the technology, leading to cloud services being integrated into almost every aspect of system management and data storage. Cloud backup services are now vital and compulsory requirement in every organization for their continued operations and the scope if their utility is only starting to increase.

What is Cloud Backup and How does it Work?

Cloud backup is a specific strategy aimed to creating and sending out a copy of virtual file or database to a secondary, off-site, targeted location for preservation in the case of equipment failure or any other catastrophe. The secondary server and data storage systems are usually maintained and hosted by a third-party service provider that charges the backup customer a fee purely based on data transmission bandwidth, storage space, number of servers or number of times data is accessed, and the number of users. Thus, implementing a cloud data backup can help bolster any organization’s data protection strategy, without increasing the workload of IT staff. The benefit of saving labour may be significant and is enough of a consideration to offset some of the additional costs associated with cloud backup, such as data transmission charges.

Types of Backup

The various approaches to cloud backup are aimed at to give customers the option to choose the backup method that best fits their needs and applications,

Full Backups

ensure to fully copy the entire data set every time a backup is initiated. As a result, they provide the highest level of protection. However, most of these organizations cannot perform full backups because they can be time-consuming and take up too much data storage capacity.

Incremental Backups

only proceed back up the data that has been changed or updated since the last backup. This particular method saves time and storage space but can make it more difficult to perform a complete restore. Thus, incremental is a common form of cloud backup because it tends to use fewer resources.

Differential Backups

are quite similar to incremental backups because they only contain altered data. However, these differential backups hold up data that has been changed since the last full This method solves the problem of difficult restores that can arise with incremental backups.
