Data Backup Digest

The world of cloud-based backup software and services is on the rise. For many, it's become a critical part of doing business in the 21st century. Maintaining a full backup of your system is just as essential as any other areas of operations and, in some cases, it's even more important when trying to ensure your long-term viability as a company.

The study, titled the Cloud Backup Market report, goes onto highlight some of the new, innovative, and groundbreaking ways data is being preserved on the cloud. It mentions advanced robotics, drones, self-driving cars, and augmented reality as some of the major contributors to cloud-based data backup in the 21st century. While the initial report was published in 2018 and covered the years from 2018 until 2024, it was ultimately updated this year to include forecasts for 2019 to 2028.

The initial press release, which accompanied the earlier report, shed some light into its contents: "Cloud-backup markets get really, really big by 2024, $190.5 billion. The reason is that all computing moves to the cloud and all smart devices and IoT store data in the cloud. Augmented reality, self-driving cars, robots, drones all generate significant amounts of data from small smart devices and processors inside things. That data gets stored in the cloud. This data is manipulated with analytics and accessed as information from many different sources."

It also lists some of the key names in backup cloud computing. Their list of brands includes Acronis International GmbH, Asigra, Barracuda Networks, Carbonite, Code 42, Microsoft, Oracle, Veeam, and many more.

The report also segments the global cloud backup market in various ways, including:
