Backup

A copy of data, files, software or other information created to ensure the safety and recovery of data in the event of loss, damage or untoward events. Backups are used to ensure data security and minimize losses in the event of failures, accidents or other unforeseen situations. Creating backup copies is recommended for both corporate environments and individual users to protect valuable data from loss or damage. Backups can be stored on external media, in cloud storage, or on other physical devices.
