backup server
Secondary data host
A backup server is a computer dedicated to storing copies of data from other systems, providing recovery options if the primary systems fail.
Organizations use backup servers to protect against data loss from hardware failure, cyberattacks, or accidental deletion: The backup server runs nightly to capture changes across the network.
May also refer to a secondary server that takes over when the primary goes down.
