Backup as a Service (BaaS)

What is Backup as a Service (BaaS)?

Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud-based solution that allows organizations to store and protect their data without the need for their own physical infrastructure. The BaaS provider remotely manages data backup, storage, and recovery.

How is it related to Storage as a Service (STaaS)?

BaaS is part of the broader Storage as a Service (STaaS) model. While STaaS provides on-demand cloud storage for multiple purposes, BaaS focuses specifically on data backups and ensuring information can be restored in the event of data loss or an incident.

Why is it critical for businesses?

Because it ensures data availability and integrity in the face of cyberattacks, technical failures, or human error. In addition, it removes the costs associated with maintaining traditional backup systems, provides immediate scalability, and offers the flexibility needed to support business growth.
