A backup of a website is a copy of its content, that's kept on a different server and can be restored if something happens. This feature is very effective, since you can't know if a script update shall not crash or if you will not eliminate something by accident - a file, a folder, a database entry, and so forth. If your site is backed up, it can be restored the way it was until the problem appeared, so there will not be any damage, or at least it will be little, based on the particular situation. Keeping backups on your computer system isn't very feasible, as you would have to do it at least once per day and you may still lose info if your last backup is not recent enough. In this light, you'll have to rely on your web hosting company, so you need to double-check their policy on the backups, as some companies generate backups once every week, that will do no good if something goes wrong with a website that's being used and updated all of the time, like an online store, for example.
Daily Data Back-up in Shared Hosting
If you acquire any of the shared hosting packages that we offer, you can take full advantage of the backup function that comes with our plans by default and without extra cost. We will create a copy of your files and databases not once, but at least four times a day, so when a problem appears on your website for some reason, we can quickly restore everything, and in the toughest scenario, your Internet site shall be restored the way it was only a few hours ago. There are two ways for a backup to be restored - you can contact us via a support ticket and we'll do what’s needed on our end within the hour, or you may directly copy the content from the backup to the live Internet site folder from the File Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, where you shall find each of the backups which have been set up listed in chronological order.
Daily Data Back-up in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers include daily content backups as a standard. This option will enable you to develop your Internet sites without having to worry if something can go wrong, simply because our system creates a new backup every few hours over a seven-day period, so a new backup doesn't overwrite a previous one. Restoring the content is super easy and requires only a few minutes - you can either use a support ticket and mention the time frame of the backup that you want to be restored, or you may just copy the backed-up files, considering that they will be available in read-only folders inside the File Manager section of your web hosting Control Panel. Each individual backup folder contains the exact time and date it was generated in its name, so you can easily locate and copy the content that you need, even when you don't have any previous experience with such matters.
