Storage and backup are essential components of infrastructure management, ensuring data availability and protection.

Storage involves the allocation of physical or virtual space to store data, applications, and other digital assets.
Backup is the process of creating copies of data to prevent loss in case of system failures, disasters, or accidental deletion.
Storage solutions include on-premises servers, cloud storage, and network-attached storage (NAS).
Backup methods can include full backups, incremental backups, and differential backups.
Implementing storage and backup strategies is crucial for data integrity, compliance, and disaster recovery.
Examples of storage technologies include SAN (Storage Area Network) and RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).
