Abstract:
The rapid growth of digital information has heightened concerns regarding data integrity, security, and trustworthiness. Traditional backup systems face challenges such as unauthorized data alterations, data loss, and cyber threats. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized, immutable ledger, offers a promising solution for securing data integrity in backup systems. This paper explores the integration of blockchain with backup architectures to enhance security, focusing on data redundancy, encryption mechanisms, and access control. A comprehensive analysis of existing literature, methodologies, and experimental results is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of blockchain-backed backups. Various subtopics, including consensus algorithms, smart contracts, and cryptographic techniques, are discussed in detail. The study concludes that blockchain technology can significantly improve data integrity and security in backup systems, ensuring resilient and tamper-proof data storage. Tables, figures, and flowcharts illustrate the proposed framework and its advantages.

Keywords: Blockchain, Data Integrity, Backup Systems, Cryptographic Security, Decentralization, Smart Contracts, Consensus Mechanisms.
