FAQs on cloud backup and disaster recovery
Google Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) is a managed service that helps businesses protect their data from loss or corruption. The service offers a variety of features that make it easy to back up data, including:
- Centralized management: All backups are managed from a single console, making it easy to track and manage all of your data.
- Automated backups: Backups can be scheduled to run automatically, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to back up your data.
- Encrypted backups: All backups are encrypted at rest and in transit, so your data is protected from unauthorized access.
- Off-site backups: Backups can be stored in multiple locations, so you can be sure that your data is safe even if one location is affected by a disaster.
- Data recovery: In the event of a data loss or corruption, you can quickly and easily recover your data using Google Cloud Backup and DR.
Google Cloud Backup and DR can back up a variety of data sources, including:
- Compute Engine virtual machines
- VMware virtual machines
- Cloud SQL databases
- Cloud Storage buckets
- File systems
The frequency of your backups will depend on the sensitivity of your data. For example, if you have data that is mission-critical, you may want to back it up every hour or even every minute. If you have data that is less sensitive, you may be able to get away with backing it up once a day or even once a week.
The retention period for your backups will also depend on the sensitivity of your data. For example, if you have data that is subject to regulatory requirements, you may need to keep it for seven years or even longer. If you have data that is less sensitive, you may be able to get away with keeping it for a shorter period of time.
