What Does Data Vaulting Mean?
Data vaulting is a business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy that requires a copy of each data backup to be stored in a place that’s physically isolated from primary backup and production environments. To protect backups from theft, hardware failures and other threats, data vaults are either stored virtually in the cloud or physically in a different local data center.
Techopedia Explains Data Vaulting
The purpose of data vaulting is ensure that in the event of a security exploit, such as a ransomware or RaaS attack, at least one copy of a backup remains isolated, and hopefully safe.
