Cloud Computing — Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery

Backup and disaster recovery are critical for protecting data and ensuring business continuity. Cloud backup automatically stores copies of data in secure cloud servers, allowing easy restoration in case of hardware failures or cyberattacks. Disaster recovery involves quickly restoring entire systems or services after major disruptions, like natural disasters or data center outages. Cloud-based disaster recovery solutions are cost-effective because they don’t require a secondary physical data center. Many providers offer dedicated disaster recovery services with automated failover and recovery features.

Example: A company uses cloud backup to restore customer records after a ransomware attack, minimizing downtime and data loss.
