Backup
TL;DR: Backup is the process of creating copies of data to prevent loss in case of hardware failure, accidental deletion, or other disasters. It involves storing duplicate copies of important files or data in a separate location to ensure their availability and integrity.
A backup enables users to recover digital data. When someone performs a file or database backup, they are copying it to another location so it can be used in case the original data is lost, corrupted, or hacked. The most common types of backups are full, mirror, incremental, and differential.
