| Types | Capabilities | Cost | Pros/Cons (Service vs In-house) |
| File | File recovery can be done with recovery softwares (like Recuva) and sometimes even built in recovery systems on the operating system that you're using. | Typically Free | Pros: In-expensive, private data won't be in the hands of someone else. Cons: Time consuming depending on data lost, and not all data can be recovered. |
| Tape | Tapes often have very critical business data that usually can not be replicated. Used for archiving. Magnetic tape is high-capacity but has low cost and durability for back up but expensive when it comes to recovery. | $1-$25/GB (overall depends on capacity/damange) | Pros: Backup/recovery by a company for tape allows it be done faster, safer, and recoverable even with damages to it like water, sliced edges, heat/smoke damage, etc. Cons: Can be expensive depending on capacity/damage. |
| Cloud-based | Data is encrypted off-site in realtime and monitored. They have speedier recovery times and require you to connect your network to the service's network. | $1-$25/GB per month (overall depends on capacity/complexity) | Pros: Vendors are the only ones usually that can offer you full back up and recovery on the cloud. In house it is possible, but very expensive as you will need a server and have to manage it. Cons: In the rare case, data might be breached from the vendor you are using. |
