Backup server

A backup server is a network server that has been created to back up data in case the primary server fails. It is also called replication of your primary server, which can take over when needed. A secondary server, functions as a storage device for your company's essential data and applications.

There are many types of backup servers, including cloud-based and local storage. When a business chooses to back up data on a server, it means that the data is copied from a main source and stored in another place where it can be used if necessary. According to the backup server definition, it provides disaster recovery capabilities for your organization by ensuring that your business does not lose any critical information even if one or more of your primary servers fails.
