Backup

Backup (or back up)

A backup is a complete digital copy of a file, data, database, system or server. This digital file contains all of the information which is in the original. 

Backup usually refers to the hardware (disk or tape) on which the copy is located and the actual software file that contains the information from the original source.  Sometimes the digital file alone is referred to as the backup, but never the hardware alone.

A backup window is the amount of time it takes to complete a backup of an entire computing environment. This window can take anywhere from several minutes to many hours to complete, depending on the computer hardware, the software used to perform the backup and the medium on which the data is stored (disk or tape).

A backup is only as valuable as the ability to recover the information on it. If you’re unable to perform a recovery in the event of a disaster, then the backup is worthless.
