What is Backup services?

Backup services provide a way to create copies of data (files, databases, virtual machines, etc.) and store them in a separate location. This protects against data loss due to hardware failure, software errors, accidental deletion, cyberattacks (like ransomware), or natural disasters. Common uses include disaster recovery, data archiving, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Backup services can be local (e.g., using external hard drives), cloud-based (e.g., storing data on remote servers), or a hybrid approach.
