A backup is a copy of a website that is kept on a different hosting server and could be restored if something wrong happens with the live site - a failed script update, an unintentional deletion of some file or of your entire database, and so forth. Restoring the website the way it was shall remove or minimize the damage the issue may have caused, that's by all means a much better alternative than having to rebuild the entire website from scratch. While you may download a copy of your content on your PC, keeping a backup is a function that most website hosting companies incorporate as part of their plans. You have to check how frequently they do that, though, because some companies generate a backup once every week, which may be far from enough for a booking Internet site or an e-commerce portal where the information is updated daily. You should also see how fast and easy a backup can be restored, which can be essential if some issue appears on your website.
Daily Data Back-up in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll never have to worry about your site content if you purchase a semi-dedicated server from us, due to the fact that our system generates regular backups of everything that you upload or create in the account. What's more, this happens at least four times every single day, so the worst that can happen will be for your site to look the way it did several hours earlier. That is far better than what other providers can offer where you may practically lose days or even weeks of work. The backups are available as browsable folders in the File Manager section of the hosting CP, so you can simply copy the content to the actual domain folder and you shall be good to go. You can also communicate with us through a support ticket and request a backup to be restored, even though you could perform that yourself with no problem using the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia CP.
