Nowadays, data has been produced in a larger amount. So, it is important to have some recovery issues also related to it. Cloud computing refers to the interconnection of various systems for the purpose of sharing resources. Cloud is one of the largest platforms that is growing rapidly in the IT sector. There are many private data that are related to cloud. Therefor the need for data recovery in the cloud is gaining more importance day by day. For this an efficient and effective data recovery techniques are to be developed. Recovery of data helps the users to collect information on any backup servers whenever the server is down. Many solutions have been developed for the disaster recovery. This research paper mainly discusses about some of the techniques and solutions that are needed to recover the data in cloud architectures. This work proposed snapshot based backup technique for the databases and implemented successfully.
