Application-aware Backup
Application-aware backup is a method that ensures data from specific applications, like email servers or databases, is backed up in a way that maintains its integrity and consistency. It involves the backup software communicating with the application during the process to coordinate data capture, so ongoing transactions or updates don’t cause errors or corruption. This approach guarantees that when data is restored, it’s accurate and usable, minimizing downtime and data loss. Essentially, it’s a smart backup process tailored to complex applications, ensuring they function correctly after recovery.
