Backup

A step or procedure that enables a user or company to make a copy of data that can be recovered at a later time if that data is deleted or corrupted at a later time. Depending on how often the data is changed, how important the data is, and how long it takes to backup the information will determine how often the data is backed up. For example, a business that has important data such as customer records that is frequently changed may backup their data every day or in some cases every few hours.
