Database backup is the process of creating copies of a database's data, tables, and structures to protect against data loss caused by hardware failures, cyberattacks, human errors, or system outages. It ensures business continuity by enabling organizations to recover data and resume operations with minimal downtime.
A modern database backup strategy combines flexible backup methods, secure backup storage, and reliable recovery to minimize data loss and meet business recovery objectives.
