Backup and Recovery refers to the processes used to create copies of data and restore it in case of loss or damage. Backups can be stored on various media, such as external hard drives, cloud storage, or magnetic tapes, ensuring that important information is preserved. Regular backups help protect against data loss due to hardware failures, accidental deletions, or cyberattacks. The recovery aspect involves retrieving the backed-up data and restoring it to its original state or a new location. Effective recovery plans are essential for minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity. Organizations often test their recovery procedures to ensure they work efficiently when needed.
