What is a backup?


In information technology, backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These additional copies are typically called "backups", and are useful primarily for two purposes:
  1. Restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery).

  2. Restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Data loss is also very common. 66% of internet users have suffered from serious data loss.
