The table compares three backup approaches: on-premises, cloud backup as a service and hybrid. On-premises has high upfront and medium ongoing cost, complete data control and sovereignty, fast local recovery, limited scalability and requires an internal team. Cloud backup as a service has low upfront and variable ongoing cost that can rise at scale, limited control and sovereignty, unlimited scalability, recovery that depends on bandwidth and egress and vendor-managed maintenance. Hybrid has medium upfront and medium-high ongoing cost, balanced control, high scalability, fast local recovery with cloud disaster recovery, configurable compliance, split maintenance and manageable sovereignty.
