Backup can be defined best as the process of copying data and systems to prevent loss or corruption of data and system incase of disasters. Storing backup data at safe places enables business to bring back most important data after system crash incidents, cyber-attacks, and any other type of incident. This inter alia guarantees that there is business continuity, there are critical assets that are protected, and there is minimum time required to start business operations after an interruption. In today's global environment where there’s a wide range of cyber threats one must ensure that they have a strategic plan that encompasses backup.
