Hybrid Backup can be defined as owning two copies of backup data where one copy is made locally for instant restores and another, stored remotely over the cloud to avoid disasters. In a nutshell, Local Backup + Remote Backup (Cloud) = Hybrid Backup.
For small and medium businesses (SMBs), Hybrid Backup can not only be an effective backup plan but also saves time, workforce and costs incurred in construction and maintenance of a replication server.
Having your data backed up to cloud makes better sense than owning your own replication server because:
- It is highly cost efficient (with the DR plan).
- You get 24/7 Business continuum support with zero maintenance.
- Data over cloud will be highly secure with replicating data to various geometric locations.
- You can see your data spin-off over cloud instantly, when there is a need for BCP (Business Continuity Plan) due to an unexpected disaster.
- It avoids sudden destruction of Data centers, as cloud backups are more stable.
Vembu BDR is principally designed to support hybrid backups. You can have an on-premise server installed locally which will speed up the backup and recovery process. You can also have your backups replicated to Vembu Cloud for disaster recovery.
