• encryption of backups
• implementing both on site and offsite backups is
recommended if it's within your organization's budget
• backup time period. How long do you need to hang on
to backups for
• archive older data using a slower but cheaper storage
mechanism – data tapes

purposes.
• command line utility
• Rsync isn't explicitly a backup tool, but it's very
commonly used as one.
• It's a file transfer utility that's designed to efficiently
transfer and synchronize files between locations or
computers.
• supports compression and you can use SSH
• Using SSH, it can also synchronize files between
remote machines making it super useful for simple
automated backups.
• Apple’s first party backup solution available for Mac
operating systems
• incremental backup model
• supports restoring an entire system from backup or
individual files
• allows restoring older versions of backup files
• Microsoft’s
• file based version where files are backed up to a zip archive
• system image where the entire disk saved block by block to a file
