What Is Remote File Backup?

Remote file backup is a cloud based online backup service offered by the cloud services providers. All your files and applications are stored automatically on servers that are in remote locations. You have to use your cloud provider's specific client application or Web browser to update the cloud backup. Backup can be provisioned on daily or weekly basis as scheduled by you and every information that is changed or updated is also automatically backed up.

Multiple copies of your files are created and stored both locally and externally at locations away from your business premises. The process is very secure as all the data is encrypted while it is being transferred on to the remote servers. You can store any type of files and the storage capacity can be scaled at any point of time. The providers manage the backup services and you save your resources and valuable time for other core functions. You can ask for versioning and archiving services. The risks of losing data due to accidents and disasters is eliminated with online backup services. You can get access to your data instantly from any device and location.
