Managed backup service where a provider handles backup infrastructure and operations.
Backup as a Service (BaaS) provides managed backup through a third-party provider—handling backup software, infrastructure, monitoring, and often recovery assistance. BaaS shifts backup from a product you manage to a service you consume. It includes cloud storage, software licensing, management portal, and typically monitoring and alerting. BaaS suits organisations wanting reliable backup without managing backup infrastructure.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
BaaS removes backup management burden. You get professional backup operations without building expertise internally. Ensure BaaS agreements include clear RPO/RTO commitments and recovery support.
