Q: Backup and recovery in major corporations?

Hey guys, I hope this is the right place to post. As i'm not too sure where this question would go.
The question is: How is backup and recovery carried out in major corporations. Even if you are not in a major corporation an answer would be great.

I'm doing some research as to how it's carried out by different businesses and such. Large scale.. small scale.. etc. (Linux-based, and windows-based systems, any specific hardware)

I'd appreciate any help and I will also be looking under the CIO website.

thanks!!

Backup in datacenter is no more a limited term. There are different ways one may choose to take backup and different ways to recovery.
