Simplify enterprise database backups with instant recovery at scale

A database backup is the process of protecting and securing copies of all the data stored in databases, so you can recover from outages or leverage backups for development, testing, or analytics. 
 
A database backup solution will protect databases and their corresponding log files, and enable database-level recovery anywhere, anytime. A good database backup solution should help meet your organization’s data retention, data privacy, and business requirements cost-effectively, while making it quick and easy to access backups for recovery and secondary purposes. 

Today’s enterprises depend on enterprise databases for a broad range of essential business functions, which makes choosing the right backup solution critical. The goal is to protect databases from data loss and long-term outages, which can incur significant financial and productivity costs. 
 
A cost-effective and reliable backup and recovery solution for databases is even more important because of the many data challenges enterprises face, such as:

• Data growth: Growing volumes of data increase the complexity and cost of backup and recovery for databases.
• Regulatory changes: Ever-changing compliance mandates like HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI make database backups considerably more complex.
• Increasing costs: The more data organizations have, the more the business has to pay for bandwidth, storage, and data management.  
• Slow backups and restores: As data grows, backups and restores take longer to complete, and performance can degrade significantly.
• More complex environments: Enterprise businesses store and access data across many locations, including on-prem, edge, and cloud, which can complicate the management, security, and protection of data across these environments.
