A backup of a site is a copy of its content, that's kept on some other web server and may be restored if something happens. This feature is rather useful, because you can't know if a script update shall not crash or if you will not delete something by mistake - a file, a folder, a database entry, etcetera. If your site is backed up, it may be restored the way it was prior to when the problem appeared, so there won't be any damage, or at least it shall be minimal, dependant upon the specific scenario. Keeping backups on your PC isn't very feasible, due to the fact that you'll have to do it at least once a day and you could still lose info if your last backup is not recent enough. In this light, you will have to rely on your website hosting provider, so you must double-check their policy on the backups, due to the fact that some providers generate backups once per week, that will do no good if a problem occurs with a site that's being used and updated at all times, such as an online store, for instance.
Daily Data Back-up in Shared Website Hosting
If you order any of the shared website hosting plans we offer, you'll be able to take advantage of the backup function that comes with our plans by default and at no extra cost. We shall produce a copy of your files and databases not once, but no less than four times each day, so whenever an issue appears on your site for some reason, we'll quickly restore everything, and in the worst case scenario, your website shall be restored the way it was only a few hours ago. There are two ways for a backup to be restored - you may contact us with a support ticket and we'll do what’s needed on our end inside an hour, or you may directly copy the content from the backup to the live website folder from the File Manager section of the Hepsia web hosting CP, where you shall find all of the backups which have been produced listed in chronological order.
Daily Data Back-up in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will never worry about your website content if you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, simply because our system generates regular backups of everything that you upload or set up in the account. What's more, this happens no less than 4 times daily, so the worst that can happen will be for your site to look the way it did some hours earlier. That is a lot better compared to what other firms can offer where you can practically lose days or even weeks of work. The backups are available as browsable folders in the File Manager section of the website hosting Control Panel, so you could simply copy the content to the actual domain folder and you shall be all set. You could also get in touch with us using a support ticket and ask for a backup to be restored, although you could perform that yourself with no problem via the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel.
