Description: Federated backup is a data management system that allows multiple locations or entities to independently manage their own backups while remaining integrated within a larger network. This decentralized approach provides each unit with the autonomy needed to tailor its backup strategies to its specific needs while benefiting from the collaboration and security of a common infrastructure. Key features of federated backup include the ability to perform local backups, synchronize data across different locations, and implement security and data recovery policies that align with each entity’s regulations. This model is particularly relevant in environments where system diversity and the need to comply with specific regulations are critical. By allowing each unit to manage its own data, federated backup not only optimizes resource use but also enhances resilience against disasters, as data is distributed and protected across multiple locations, reducing the risk of total information loss.
