Disk backup, or disk-based backup, is a data backup and recovery method that backs data up to hard disk storage. Disk backups are widely used and can be supplemented by methods such as tape or cloud backup for archiving or disaster recovery (DR). Backups to disk often employ data reduction methods such as deduplication and compression to maximize storage capacity when protecting large amounts of data.

We at ISTM truly understand that Data Backup& Recovery are crucial parts of most organisations data protection plans. Organizations rely on backup to preserve critical files and data, guarding against the loss of files through human error, technology failures or natural disasters. Many organizations have a dedicated backup administrator who manages all disk backup appliances, although some may leave the backup process to the application or data owners.
