Application backup and recovery

Application backup is the process of creating a copy of an application’s data, settings, and configurations to safeguard against data loss or corruption. This backup can be used to restore the application to its previous known good state in case of a system failure, malware attack, or any other unforeseen circumstances.This type of backup helps ensure the continuity of business operations and the integrity of the application’s data.

Backing up requires a strategic approach depending on the sensitivity of the data. Data center and cloud backup are the most common types of backup targets. Many organizations back up their data to an on-prem data center or to a secure cloud service provider. This approach helps ensure that the data is securely stored and easily accessible for restore purposes in case of a natural or cyber disaster. Ultimately, backing up all your data sources will help ensure recoverability.
