Daily Data Back-up

A backup of a site is a copy of its content, that's kept on a different hosting server and may be restored if something happens. This feature is rather effective, considering that you can never know if a script update will not crash or if you won't erase something by mistake - a file, a folder, a database entry, and so forth. When your website is backed up, it could be restored the way it was before the issue appeared, so there shall not be any damage, or at least it will be minimal, depending upon the specific scenario. Keeping backups on your computer system is not very feasible, as you would need to do it at least once each day and you could still lose information if your last backup isn't recent enough. In this light, you will have to rely on your hosting provider, so you have to double-check their policy on the backups, since some providers create backups once every week, which will do no good if something wrong happens with an Internet site that's being used and updated all the time, like an online store, for instance.
