Cloud Backup
Simple Explanation
A saved copy of your files or device information stored on a remote service rather than only on your device. It can help you recover photos or documents if a device is lost, but you should check what is actually backed up.
Technical Explanation
Cloud backup transfers selected data to remote infrastructure for retention and restoration. Backup frequency, version history, encryption and recovery options depend on the service.
Business Use Case
A small business backs up its important files to a cloud service and tests restoring them.
Real-Life Example
You enable phone photo backup so you can recover pictures after replacing a damaged phone.
