Cloud backup copies data from servers, computers and cloud applications over the internet, encrypted, to a remote data centre on a schedule, keeping historical versions so data can be restored after failure, deletion or ransomware.
- Not the same as sync: sync spreads deletions and encryption to every device; backup is an independent, versioned copy.
- Cloud apps need it too: under the shared responsibility model, protecting Microsoft 365 data is largely the customer’s job.
- Watch points: restore speed, data location under KVKK, MFA on the backup account, immutable storage and cost drivers.
Ask providers about encryption and keys, data location, retention, immutability, restore options and failure alerts. Racoun’s Pedante Bilişim team combines local and cloud copies, offers local cloud options and runs regular restore tests.
