What is the process of backing up data and files on a remote location via an online connection?

• A. Local Backup
• B. Cloud Backup
• C. Remote Backup
• D. Tape Backup

Answer: (C)

Backing up data to a different site over a network is remote backup. This approach stores copies of your files in an offsite location reached through an online connection, which protects against local disasters like fire or flood and enables restoration from the remote site. It’s different from a local backup, which remains on the same device or nearby storage. It’s also distinct from tape backup, which uses physical magnetic tapes as the storage medium. Cloud backup is a type of remote backup that specifically uses cloud-based storage services, but the general process of backing up to a remote location via the network is best described as remote backup.
