backup solutions
Alternative recovery options
Backup solutions are systems or services designed to copy and preserve data so it can be recovered if the original is lost, corrupted, or destroyed.
The term spans simple external hard drives to sophisticated cloud-based services that automatically replicate files across multiple locations.
In business contexts, backup solutions often include disaster recovery features: We need a backup solution that can restore operations within hours of a system failure.
