The activity of copying files or databases so that they will be preserved in case of equipment failure or other catastrophe. Backups are often done as a routine business operation. The retrieval of backup files is called 'restoring' them.
To create a copy of data as a precaution against the loss or damage of the original data. Most users backup some of their files, and many computer networks utilize automatic backup software to make regular copies of some or all of the data on the network. Some backup systems use digital audio tape (DAT) as a storage medium.

Backup tape recycling is the process whereby an organizationâÂÂs backup tapes are overwritten with new backup data, usually on a fixed schedule (i.e., the use of nightly backup tapes for each day of the week with the daily backup tape for a particular day being overwritten on the same day the following week; weekly and monthly backups being stored offsite for a specified period of time before being placed back in the rotation).

Magnetic tapes used to store copies of data, for use when restoration or recovery of data is required. Data on backup tapes are generally recorded and stored sequentially, rather than randomly, meaning in order to locate and access a specific file or data set, all data on the tape preceding the target must first be read, a time-consuming and inefficient process. Backup tapes typically use data compression, which increases restoration time and expense, given the lack of uniform standards governing data comp

A system of sequentially numbering document pages in paper or electronic form as part of litigation discovery to uniquely identify each page scanned or processed. A Bates stamp is often in the form of the first three letters of a litigation party, followed by a number, e.g. SMI 0005426. By marking each document (or photograph) with a unique alphanumeric identifier, one may demonstrate that a document has been produced. Bates numbering documents also helps to track discovery responses over time. Use of a numbering system also helps you better identify documents which you are withholding on the basis of privilege or work product. Bates numbering is also used to track what documents you have given to your consultant or expert. Finally, alpha-numbering documents also gives you a handy way of referring to them on the record at depositions. Bates numbers may be applied manually through a self inking stamp that incremented a sequential number each time it was pressed down on a document, or increasingly, though software that applies a Bates number to an electronic document.
