The deliberate or accidental eradication of information, resulting from mistakes made by individuals, malfunctioning hardware, or malicious software. A replica of data captured at a specific moment and stored in a distinct place from the original data.
A backup that solely captures the modifications made to data since the previous backup. The process that involves restoring data and systems to a functional state following a catastrophic event, such as a natural disaster or cyber attack.
A type of backup that captures and stores only the modifications made to data since the previous complete backup, resulting in faster execution and lower storage requirements. A complete backup is a data backup method that duplicates all the information stored on a system at a specific moment. It typically takes longer and occupies more storage capacity compared to incremental backups, but
A backup that is stored in the same location as the original data, allowing for quick access in case of a failure, but lacking protection. A backup stored away from the original data to shield against physical harm to the original data.
