Welcome to the Cloud Backup Glossary! Here are essential terms and definitions to help you understand cloud backup concepts.

Key Terms Explained

  • Cloud Backup 🧱
    A service that stores data copies in remote servers via the internet. Learn more about our Cloud Backup Solutions.

  • Data Security 🔒
    Protects data from unauthorized access. Ensure your backups are encrypted with AES-256 standards.

  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective) ⏱️
    The maximum acceptable time to restore data after a failure. Example: RTO of 1 hour means systems resume within that timeframe.

  • RPO (Recovery Point Objective) ⏳
    The maximum acceptable data loss measured in time. E.g., RPO of 15 minutes ensures only 15 minutes of data are lost.

  • Snapshot 📷
    A point-in-time copy of data. Snapshots are faster than full backups but may not cover all changes.

Best Practices

  1. Regular Testing 🧪
    Verify backups work by simulating data loss scenarios.
  2. Multi-Region Storage 🌍
    Distribute backups across regions to avoid single points of failure.
  3. Compliance Checks 📜
    Ensure backups meet regulatory standards like GDPR.
