What is Server Online Backup

Server online backups allow a company to have a completed backup of a server in case of accidental loss of data. Businesses often rely on the data that they hold on their servers and therefore the loss of such data can be catastrophic. Making a suitable backup infrastructure will often be too expensive for a company and therefore they will use online server backups as cost effective alternative.

Online server backup schedules will often vary depending on the end users needs. When the information is highly sensitive and constantly changing it will often be necessary for there to be continuous data protection (CDP). Other companies will schedule their backups as it is not vital for every bit of data to be constantly backed up.

As servers can hold large amounts of data it is common for the data to be compressed before being backed up. This means that it will take up less bandwidth when it is being sent over the internet and the backup will be completed quicker.
