Grid® for Server Backup Software
Server Backup Software Definition
Server backup software is used to ensure the information stored or processed through server hardware remains intact in case of mechanical failure or user error. These solutions store the information processed by the server in a remote location, a remote cloud, or on some other on-premises hardware device. Companies use server backup software to prevent data loss in disaster scenarios as well as to ensure their business data or customer business data remains available.
Server backup tools differ from other backup technology in that they communicate directly with the server and operate solely to store its information.
To qualify for inclusion in the Server Backup category, a product must:
- Store server data in a remote location or on additional in-house servers
- Directly connect servers to backup storage devices
- Support enterprise-level server backup
