Cloud Backup and How does it work
Cloud backup is a way of saving copies of your files, applications, or entire system to a remote server over the internet, instead of just storing them on your local computer or company servers. The idea is that if your device fails, gets lost, or is attacked by malware, you can restore your data from the cloud.
How it works:
Data selection: You choose what data to back up — this could be specific files, folders, or even a full system image.
Encryption: Before sending the data, most cloud backup services encrypt it so it’s secure during transfer and while stored on the cloud server.
Upload to cloud: The data is sent over the internet to the provider’s servers, which are usually in multiple locations to prevent data loss.
Regular updates: Cloud backups can be scheduled to run automatically, often daily or in real-time, so your backup stays current.
Restoration: If you lose your data, you can download it back from the cloud to your device or a new device.
Bonus: Many cloud backups also use incremental backups, meaning only new or changed data is uploaded after the first backup, which saves time and storage space.
