As standard all of our clients websites are regularly backed up. Why do we do this? Imagine your website became compromised in some way and you need to recover some features or content. Well if you have backed your site up this is very quick and easy to rectify. By backing up your website it is easy to rewind the clock and show your website before an issue arose.
Website backups can help website owners mitigate a disaster, they help recover your website content and important customer and business-related data when needed while keeping it reliable and up to date.
Reasons to back up your website.
- If you trust an employee to update and load items to your website and this should go wrong or they accidentally delete a page from your site, if it has been backed up this mistake can easily be restored without any problems.
- Imagine your website became compromised (because it’s not secure see our previous blog on security) then it is easier for your website to be taken down and restored back to a version which had been backed up.
- Technology isn’t always reliable and your computer can become infected. If you are updating your website on an infected device without knowing this can be detrimental to your website and unknowingly you could infect your website which could then infect other users devices who have been on your website. If this were to happen and you’d recently backed your website up then again it is easier to restore your website to before the infection happened.
Your website needs to be regularly maintained like your vehicle in order for it to work and perform. If you simply put your website live and forget about it then problems can occur for you and your business further down the line. By regularly backing up, if you want to revert a change you can very easily.
