What is Cloud Backup?

In today’s digital era, safeguarding data is crucial for businesses of all sizes. Cloud backup offers a reliable and efficient way to protect critical information from loss, corruption, or cyber threats. This blog explores what cloud backup is and how Cobweb’s Acronis solutions enhance data security.

Understanding Cloud Backup

Cloud backup involves storing copies of your data on remote servers managed by a cloud service provider. This approach ensures that data remains accessible and secure, even in the event of hardware failures, accidental deletions, or cyberattacks. Unlike traditional backups that require physical storage devices, cloud backups are managed over the internet, offering flexibility and scalability.

Benefits of Cloud Backup

1. Accessibility: Access your data from anywhere with an internet connection.
2. Scalability: Easily scale your storage needs up or down based on your business requirements.
3. Cost-Efficiency: Pay only for the storage you use, reducing costs associated with physical storage maintenance.
4. Disaster Recovery: Quickly recover data in case of a disaster, minimising downtime.

Is cloud backup a security risk?

Security: Cloud storage often offers greater protection against cyberattacks than other options because it’s backed up regularly and stored off-site. It’s also monitored for suspicious activity 24/7. Cloud storage protects against security risks by keeping all of your information safely off-site in an encrypted format.

How much does Cloud Back Up Cost?

Cloud backup can be priced on a per-user or per-workload basis. Both models offer unique advantages, and the best choice depends on your specific needs and usage patterns. Cobweb can advise you on the optimal pricing model for you.

Per-Workload Model: Billing is based on the number of workloads (servers, workstations, VMs) and cloud storage used. Ideal for customers with fewer devices but large data per workload. No charges for service provider-hosted or local storage.

Per-GB Model: Billing is based on total storage used, with no device limit. Best for customers with many devices but smaller data per workload.
