Backup strategies

There are various types of backup strategies. Some backup strategies require much time while others do not. A normal backup normally takes a very long time since it is required to backup all the files which have already been selected so that it can produce a complete backup.  The first type of backup is the full backup; this kind of backup is majorly used when backing up the files which are already in the system (Qain et al., 2013). The type of backup duplicates all the sectors from a specific disk or the disks into another different storage system. The other type of backup is the incremental backup; this type of backup duplicate all the files which have been changed as from the last full backup on the same day the incremental backup was run. For instance, the backup plan for the whole week with daily incremental backups offers for a full backup to run on Sunday while the incremental backup will run on Monday involving all the files which have been changed as from Sunday.
Cloud backup is a recent strategy used by most companies. Cloud backup is cheap and secure as well. This strategy involves the passage of duplicated files from the internet platform to an offsite server located in clouds (Nelson & Brown, 2011).  The company manages this kind of backup, only the authorized personnel are permitted to access the data if needed thus, reducing the chances of data loss.
