Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud-based backup and recovery solution that enables organizations to protect their data and applications without the need for traditional on-premise infrastructure. It offers flexible deployment models to suit different business needs. Hybrid BaaS combines local storage for the fast recovery of recent or critical data with cloud storage for long-term retention and disaster recovery. Managed BaaS, on the other hand, outsources the entire backup process to a service provider, ensuring data security, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity.
For example, an e-commerce platform may use Hybrid BaaS to keep recent transactions on-premise for quick access while archiving older sales data in the cloud. Alternatively, a healthcare provider might rely on Managed BaaS to back up patient records in a HIPAA-compliant cloud environment, which is handled entirely by a trusted third party.
