What is Cloud Backup?
Cloud backup is a data backup method wherein a copy of data is sent over a proprietary or public network to a secure cloud-based server. Since most cloud computing services are provided by a third-party vendor, cloud backup storage fees are often set based on factors such as scalability needs, overall number of users, or how often the data is accessed. After being stored off-site, the data remains available from any access point, and can also be shared among multiple cloud users.
