Cloud Backup
Cloud backup, is a data protection strategy that involves copying and storing digital data in a remote, off-site location via the internet. This remote location is typically a secure data center operated by a cloud service provider. The primary purpose of cloud backup is to ensure the safety and availability of critical data in case of data loss, disasters, hardware failures, or other unforeseen events.
