Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud-based data storage solution that backs up and replicates all of your data, including file systems and business applications, in a secure data center using network access. ### How does cloud backup keep my data safe? The data centers where your information is stored are equipped with sophisticated security measures, including monitoring systems, multi-layered security safeguards and central management. Your data is also encrypted, which protects it from viruses and hackers. ### Is it still important to back up files on a physical server? It never hurts to have multiple forms of back up, but it's important to note your data is still on physical equipment at the data center. The physical service is managed by a cloud provider rather than the business itself, so you can rest easy. ### What happens if I accidentally delete something from cloud backup? There are safeguards in place to ensure your data can easily be recovered in case of human error or other disaster situations. If you run into a scenario where you need to recover data, it can be recovered pretty much at the click of a button—only by an authorized user, of course. ### How much Is Backup as a Service? BaaS helps reduce capital expenses by eliminating the need to make a huge upfront investment on the hardware, software and labor needed to maintain a backup system.
