Online Backup
Online backup is a backup stored at an online location such as an FTP server or a cloud storage. Online backups provide the highest level of protection against local disaster of any kind: since online backup servers are located remotely, no matter what happens at your site, the backups will stay safe.
Another big advantage of backing up to remote (Online) locations is that data can be accessed from any point of the Earth via the Internet.
Most online backup services provide options of encrypting and compressing user data. While encryption provides even higher level safety, compression enables users to reduce storage and connection bandwidth costs.
