Hot backup refers to a method of backing up data in live or running systems without causing any downtime or interruptions to the normal functioning of the system. In this type of backup, data is duplicated or copied while the system is still operational and accessible to users.
Hot backup typically involves using technologies or techniques that allow for continuous and real-time replication of data. This can be achieved through technologies like database replication, virtual machine replication, or storage replication.
By implementing hot backup, organizations can ensure continuous availability of critical systems and minimize the risk of data loss or downtime in case of hardware or software failures, disasters, or other unforeseen events.
