Backup Strategies

Backup strategies are systematic approaches to creating and managing copies of data to protect against loss, corruption, or disasters. They involve planning for data recovery, retention policies, and ensuring business continuity. Common elements include backup types (full, incremental, differential), storage locations (on-site, off-site, cloud), and recovery objectives.
