SAN (Storage Area Network)

A dedicated network of storage devices shared among multiple servers, designed for fast access and large data transfers.


Synchronization

The process of ensuring that computer files in one location are copied to one or more other locations on a regular basis. Synchronization is also referred to as mirroring or replication. Unlike backup, synchronization does not allow you to go "back in time" to recover lost or altered files.

Backup

A copy of data, stored in a secondary location, which is used to restore data in the primary storage location that is corrupted or lost. Restoring involves copying data from the backup to the primary storage to replace the corrupted or lost files. Backing up is a storage strategy that allows you to recover from data loss.
