Website backup review
A website backup is created by storing a copy of the live site in case there is a major issue with the site. The backup files are typically stored on a remote server that can be accessed by entering username and password credentials. If there is an issue with the website, then an administrator can easily switch to the backup instance of the site. Website backups are important for websites that have crucial data or client information.
Why should I do a website backup?
A website backup should be done to protect your data or client information from getting lost or corrupted in case of a major issue with the live site. For example, if your website is hacked, then you can restore it to its previous state using a backup file instead of rebuilding it from scratch which takes more time and resources. Website backups can also serve as a security measure by protecting your data from being stolen by any third parties.
Website backup’s work in three ways:
- They can serve as a security measure for external attacks.
- They’re useful in the event of a system outage, such as a power outage.
- They can also protect against internal corruption or error that may result in data loss.
