A '''remote, online, or managed backup service''', sometimes marketed as '''cloud backup''' or '''backup-as-a-service''', is a service that provides users with a system for the [[backup]], storage, and recovery of [[computer file]]s. [[List of online backup services|Online backup providers]] are companies that provide this type of service to end users (or clients). Such backup services are considered a form of [[cloud computing]].
Online backup systems are typically built for a client software program that runs on a given schedule. Some systems run once a day, usually at night while computers aren't in use. Other newer cloud backup services run continuously to capture changes to user systems nearly in real-time. The online backup system typically collects, compresses, encrypts, and transfers the data to the remote backup service provider's servers or off-site hardware.
