Cloud Backup & Recovery

Cloud backup, also referred to as online backup and recovery, is a protective approach where data is securely transferred to an offsite storage location to ensure its preservation in case of a disaster or equipment malfunction. These storage systems are provided by third-party cloud service providers and operate on a subscription basis, with fees determined by factors such as the number of users, storage capacity, and data access frequency. By implementing Cloud Backup (known as DLOCK), your company can ensure the safeguarding of its data in emergencies and enable swift recovery without the requirement of extra IT personnel.

How Cloud Backup Works

Cloud backup services are scheduled to operate at specific intervals to provide the highest level of protection against data loss. For example, a customer may choose to back up their data daily. The application will collect, compress, encrypt, and transfer their data to the offsite cloud backup server every 24 hours. To optimize time and bandwidth usage, the backup process may focus only on the changes made to the data since the last backup. This approach enhances efficiency and reduces the time and resources required for the backup.

What Options Does Cloud Backup Provide?

Cloud backup offers flexible configurations to meet the unique requirements of your business.

• Full Backups

Full backups involve copying the entire dataset every time a backup is initiated, ensuring the utmost protection. Due to the substantial amount of data that many organizations possess, performing full backups frequently can be time-consuming.

• Incremental Backups

Incremental backups exclusively back up the data that has changed since the last backup. While this approach saves time, it can be more challenging and time-consuming to restore the complete data set.

• Differential Backups

Differential backups share similarities with incremental backups as they only include altered data. However, this backup type also backs up data that has been updated since the last full backup, rather than just incremental changes. Consequently, restoring the complete data set becomes less complex and time-consuming when utilizing differential backups.

A key advantage of cloud backup restorations is their versatility, enabling them to be executed from any computer with internet access. For example, an administrator can recover the data and restore it to another remote server if they cannot access their primary data center.
