<p>Somewhat stubby, but covers the basics</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Backup''' is a process used essentially universally throughout computing: it involves making a copy (usually also called a 'backup') of newly-created data, so that should a [[hardware]] failure occur in the [[peripheral|device]] holding the data, it is not lost.<br /> <br /> The backup may simply be a copy made on identical media to that holding the original (e.g. a [[disk]] pack), or it may be on another medium: for a long time, [[magnetic tape]] was used, since it had high capacity, but was fairly inexpensive.<br /> <br /> {{semi-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category: Basics]]</div>
