digital backup
Saved data duplicate
A digital backup is a copy of electronic data stored separately from the original, created to protect against loss from hardware failure, theft, or accidental deletion.
Backups may be stored on external drives, in cloud services, or on physical media.
I keep a digital backup of all my photos on an external hard drive.
The practice extends to any electronically stored information—documents, databases, entire systems.
