These are just a few examples of the new backup concepts that have emerged in recent years. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative approaches to backup and recovery in the future.
Immutable backups: Immutable backups are backups that cannot be modified or deleted, providing an added layer of protection against cyberattacks such as ransomware. With immutable backups, even if a cyberattacker gains access to the backup system, they cannot modify or delete the backups.
Object storage: Object storage is a data storage architecture that stores data as objects rather than files or blocks. Object storage systems can provide more efficient backup and recovery of large amounts of data, as they can be accessed quickly and easily.
Hybrid backup: Hybrid backup is an approach that combines local and cloud backups. This enables faster and more frequent backups, while also providing the added security of offsite cloud backups.
Backup as a Service (BaaS): BaaS is a cloud-based backup service that enables organizations to back up their data to a cloud-based infrastructure. This can reduce the need for on-premise hardware, while also providing the added security and scalability of cloud-based backups.
Zero Backup: Zero backup is a backup approach that eliminates the need for traditional backups by continuously replicating data across multiple systems in real-time. This can provide faster and more reliable data protection, without the need for regular backups.
Synthetic full backups are a backup technique that combines full and incremental backups to create a “synthetic” full backup. Rather than creating a traditional full backup, which can be time-consuming and require significant storage space, synthetic full backups use a combination of full and incremental backups to create a full backup image
