When it comes to creating backup of your data, there are many solutions available out there. In order to help you decide which one is the best as per your company’s requirements, you need to know the various types available. Let us review the different Data Backup Solutions Dubai available.

FTP Backup

The FTP backup, as the name suggests is done using the FTP or file transfer protocol via a reliable and speedy internet connection. The FTP server is usually away from the source that is feeding data to it. This kind of data backup is a sub-type off-site backup.

Cloud Backup

The cloud backup is a type of data backup facility online. The computer or device from which data is originating has been connected to a facility online. In order to take advantage of the cloud solutions, you must have the authorization, meaning the username and password to log into the cloud.

Remote Backup

The remote backup solution is a more comprehensive type of backup solution. When you are using remote backup, you are allowed to administer, store and retrieve data from a remote location. One of the biggest advantages of having remote backup is that you do not need to be physically present there. On the downside, you need to have a reliable internet connection as an important way to transmit and receive data.

Online Backup

The online data backup facility is usually utilized by companies continuously looking for continuous backup. The source remains connected to the online backup, making easy exchange of data. The online backup system either relies upon internet connection or a network to send data. There is minimal to no human interaction required, eliminating the need to plugin storage media devices.

Offsite Backup

The offsite backup essentially means that the data has been stored at some other place than from which it originally emerged. There can be many ways of creating offsite backup. The use of USBs, CDs, DVDs, and Hard Disks are examples of offsite backup. The benefit of using offsite backup is that it has been protected against theft, fire or other natural hazards.

Local Backup

This is the type of backup solution in which the source of the data as well as the medium on which it is stored are nearby. There can be different types of storage devices used for this purpose. The near proximity of the source and the storage device make it local backup.

Full Computer Backup

The full PC backup is usually done to avoid critical failures. Imagine a situation when you cannot afford to have your data lost. In that kind of situation, you need full PC data backup. The full PC data backup means that you do not only get all the files you need but would also restore your computer to an earlier point in time.

Mirror Backup

Mirror backups mirror the actual backup. The speed at which the mirror backup is created has traditionally been very fast. The reason for this fast speed is to quickly create backups. The fast backup speed means you need to have speedy storage mediums which can quickly exchange data.

Differential Backup

Differential backup is defined as the changes made after the last full backup was created. The idea is to make sure that any new changes after a full backup have been preserved so that there is no loss of data.

Incremental Backup

The incremental backup takes care of any additional backups required once all the data has been backed up. The main reason for differential backup is to speed up the entire process. The incremental use of space means saving requirements of storage space.

Full Backup

The full backup takes care of all the files and folders for which you need to save data. Whenever you run full backup, it will create everything from scratch. This means taking care of all the files and folders regardless of the amount of data.
