Description: Restricted backup is a data protection method that limits access to backups to certain authorized users or systems. This approach is used to ensure that sensitive or critical information is protected from unauthorized access, which is especially relevant in business environments where data security is paramount. Restricted backups can be implemented using access credentials, data encryption, and access control policies that determine who can view or restore the backed-up information. This type of backup not only protects data from accidental loss but also helps comply with privacy and data security regulations, such as GDPR. In a world where cyber threats are increasingly common, restricted backup becomes an essential tool for risk management and business continuity, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access critical information in the event of a security incident or data loss.
