Active & Backup Protection

Active and backup protection are two methods used to keep systems safe from failures. Active protection continuously monitors the system and responds immediately to threats or issues, like an automatic security system. Backup protection involves creating copies of important data or system configurations, which can be restored if the original is lost or damaged. Together, they ensure ongoing security: active protection prevents or detects problems early, while backups provide a safety net for recovery if needed. This combination helps maintain reliability and minimizes downtime.
