Hybrid cloud backup

Hybrid cloud backup

10 years  data backup was simple to copy files to a disk or backup to tape and always well or so we thought today we have much more dating research predicts that there will be 40 zettabytes of data on the planet by 2020 and as businesses learn to better analyze and use the data it becomes much more valuable. 

This increase in data has yielded more ways in which to back it up but beware not all backup is created equal here's a quick look at today's backup options and how they can affect your business with file-based backups specific files or folders are saved as needed file-based backups allow you to restore individual files full restore zar possible but because restoration software handles only one file at a time the process is time-consuming do you have time to wait for image-based backup to take a picture of entire machines with image based backup you can restore individual files do bare metal restore 'he's verify images boot up virtual machines and even run remote offices because the image-based backup contains a more complete data picture full restores are much faster and more reliable than they are with a file-based solution agentless backups do not require any software to be installed on the machine you want to protect the backup process can be more efficient however by installing a piece of software known as a backup agent.

 The backup agent can monitor sector-level changes on the machines drive this lets the backup process know exactly what sectors to pull resulting in a low load on the protected machine during back up our agent has one more advantage that it has to backup engines if one engine fails the other kicks in automatically greatly improving the chances of capturing a healthy backup what good's a backup of its flawed local backup solutions save data to an on-site device and while a local-only backup can be quick and easy relying solely on local can be dangerous if your office is flooded, for example, there goes your only backup direct to cloud backup solutions send data to a secure off-site location transferring data to and from the cloud is dependent on bandwidth speed so it can be slower than local backups, however, having your back up in the cloud can be your salvation in a disaster, a hybrid cloud solution combines the best of both worlds local and cloud a hybrid cloud system is less dependent on bandwidth speed than a cloud the only solution it can schedule transfers without the risk of having no backup data with a hybrid cloud solution, you can be up and running from a local backup in seconds and you can also count on an off-site backup should the need arise we hope this  clarifies some of your questions on the types of backup the fastest most complete most guaranteed backup and recovery solution adopts an image-based approach employees dual backup agents and provides a hybrid cloud backup model by combining the benefits of both local and cloud-based storage let's talk soon to help you find a solution that will meet all of your needs you
