2. Backup rotation scheme - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_rotation_scheme

   Grandfather-father-son backup (GFS) is a common rotation scheme for backup media, [1] in which there are three or more backup cycles, such as daily, weekly and monthly. The daily backups are rotated on a 3-months basis using a FIFO system as above. The weekly backups are similarly rotated on a bi-yearly basis, and the monthly backup on a yearly ...

   Site-to-site backup. backup, over the internet, to an offsite location under the user's control. Similar to remote backup except that the owner of the data maintains control of the storage location. Synthetic backup. a restorable backup image that is synthesized on the backup server from a previous full backup and all the incremental backups ...

4. Backup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup

   The backup data needs to be stored, requiring a backup rotation scheme, [4] which is a system of backing up data to computer media that limits the number of backups of different dates retained separately, by appropriate re-use of the data storage media by overwriting of backups no longer needed. The scheme determines how and when each piece of ...

5. Standard RAID levels - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

   Diagram of a RAID 1 setup. RAID 1 consists of an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks; a classic RAID 1 mirrored pair contains two disks.This configuration offers no parity, striping, or spanning of disk space across multiple disks, since the data is mirrored on all disks belonging to the array, and the array can only be as big as the smallest member disk.

6. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

   In a binary exponential backoff algorithm (i.e. one where b = 2), after c collisions, each retransmission is delayed by a random number of slot times between 0 and 2 c − 1. After the first collision, each sender will wait 0 or 1 slot times. After the second collision, the senders will wait anywhere from 0 to 3 slot times . After the third ...

7. Continuous data protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_data_protection

   Continuous data protection (CDP), also called continuous backup or real-time backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves. In its true form it allows the user or administrator to restore data to any point in time. [1]
