In the world of data protection, the cloud has emerged as a popular destination for backups. The appeal is obvious: Offload the complexities and costs of backup infrastructure to a provider, and rest easy knowing your data is safe in an off-site location. In addition, backing up to the cloud ensures that at least one copy of your backup data is stored off-site. Finally, many backup providers also offer immutable backups, which means that hackers can’t delete, encrypt, or corrupt your backups in any way – even if they gain administrative control over your backup system.
