cloud backup and recovery

Rather than manually backing up your data every now and then, cloud backups can automatically sync your data based on a schedule you determine. This way, you’re more likely to have an up-to-date backup, and you can minimize losses should you lose access to your primary data source.

Instead of having to manage storage infrastructure that becomes more complex as your company and data needs grow, the cloud backup provider handles infrastructure on their end. Since it’s in the cloud, you can save a copy of your data from anywhere, rather than needing to be connected to local storage solutions. Then, when you need to use cloud recovery solutions to access your data, you can access your backups from anywhere and restore your data almost instantly.

Cloud backup and recovery solutions continue to improve their security with features like artificial intelligence (AI) to identify threats. Cloud-based solutions can be updated at any time, so they always have the newest features and security.
In comparison, the security features on external servers and hard drives are generally set at the time of purchase, other than the occasional firmware update. Advanced security updates usually require additional software or an equipment upgrade.

Because a cloud backup and recovery provider handles infrastructure on their end, you can easily change your service to scale up or down according to your needs, rather than getting locked into an inflexible local storage solution.
