Also called online backup, cloud backup is one among several services under the umbrella of cloud computing. Through it, the resources that are used to perform some type of task - such as creating, editing, managing and restoring data and / or applications - are recorded remotely on the internet, ensuring that information is not lost.
In practice, cloud backup allows your organization to send a copy of your environment data to the cloud. That way, if your data is compromised, you can restore information, ensure business continuity, and defend against devastating IT crises.
In addition to protecting against data loss or viruses, many companies need to protect their data to meet industry standards or regulations, and using the cloud to do so makes perfect sense. Failure to do so can result in expensive fines.
This concern is growing in Brazil after the approval of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) . This set of regulations obliges public and private organizations to comply with security standards to prevent theft, leakage and illegal sale of digital and electronic information.
By hiring a good backup service in the cloud, your company can optimize part of your investments in local IT infrastructure. This is because it is the cloud service provider that is responsible for carrying out and storing backups in their own environment, configuring this operation in a totally personalized way for the client, taking into consideration the most appropriate type and window, and ensuring the routine and the adequate data storage. The details of how this will happen routinely are defined in a contract between your business and the company providing the service.
