Abstract
With the rapid development of computer technology, IT hardware price continues to decrease. Equipment is no longer important, while data is becoming increasingly vital. Cloud backup service is ideally suitable for those who wish to provide valuable data backup solution and hold data safely beyond data center. In this paper the development of cloud backup technology is illustrated. Compared with conventional backup software, the advantages of cloud backup technology and its challenges are analyzed. Combined with cloud backup service platform, B-Cloud, the cloud backup service mechanism is introduced. Moreover, it makes a simple conjecture on the future development of cloud backup technology.
