What are the advantages of cloud storage backup?

Scalable and cost-saving enterprises can rely on the unlimited scalability of third-party cloud providers without worrying about investment after using cloud storage backup. In fact, the mode of paying while using reduces the trouble caused by the procurement and implementation of backup. This method enables us to predict and manage capacity growth and operating expenses. Efficient and reliable cloud providers usually provide the most advanced technologies, such as disk-based backup, compression, encryption, deduplication, server virtualization, storage virtualization, application optimization data protection and so on. In addition to the security required by certification, most providers can also provide 7x24 monitoring, management and reporting, which may be impossible for ordinary companies. Reduce the recovery time of small data. When restoring from tape, the administrator needs to find the tape, load it, find the location of the data, and then restore the data. Recovering data from the cloud is much faster; It takes no time to transport tapes from tape storage points, dispose of them and find them. The data to be recovered is transmitted through the wide area network (WAN) after being found, which saves time and does not need to build local tape equipment. Availability cloud backup may be attractive to companies that can't afford disaster recovery architecture, or can, but realize that outsourcing can improve efficiency and reduce costs. You can access remote data copies through any internet connection or device, which increases the insurance factor in the event of regional disasters. Cloud backup: not without its drawbacks! Depending on the capacity of all data, the first full backup and full recovery of data may be too time-consuming and have a great impact on the production system. Size Limit According to the existing bandwidth resources, each company will have a reasonable threshold for the amount of data that can be transmitted to the cloud every day. This restriction has an impact on the backup strategy. Terminating service Understanding the best startup strategy is as important as reviewing specific features. Indicators to be considered include service termination fee, early withdrawal fee, service cancellation notice, data retrieval method and so on. The performance of nonexistent service level agreements and the guarantee of successful backup are usually beyond the control of service providers. For example, whether there is enough bandwidth, the amount of data that needs to be transmitted through the network, and the accessibility of the protected system may all lead to failure to comply with the service level agreement. As a storage manager, you should correctly evaluate the challenges, capabilities and assets that the enterprise faces, which will help you to judge whether the cloud-based backup strategy is better than continuing to rely on complete indoor backup.
