Synthetic Full Backups: How They Enhance Backup And Recovery
StateTech, Monday, March 3rd, 2025
A synthetic full backup records incremental changes to create a complete backup without requiring constant, full backups of an entire system.
In state and local government, system backups are essential to resilience and compliance, especially for emergency and nonemergency citizen services.
But traditional full backups are time-consuming and can strain IT infrastructure, potentially slowing access to essential digital services.
Synthetic full backups offer a more efficient alternative that demands less human effort and puts less load on the production system. This gives state and local IT teams a better way to protect their systems.
