A backup of a site is a copy of its content, that is kept on some other server and may be restored if something happens. This function is quite practical, given that you can't know if a script update shall not fail or if you will not delete something by mistake - a file, a folder, a database entry, etc. If your site is backed up, it may be restored the way it was until the issue appeared, so there won't be any damage, or at least it will be very little, based on the particular scenario. Keeping backups on your computer system isn't very feasible, because you'd have to do it at least once a day and you can still lose information if your last backup is not recent enough. In this light, you'll need to rely on your web hosting provider, so you ought to double-check their policy on the backups, because some companies generate backups only once per week, which will do no good if something goes wrong with an Internet site that is being used and updated all the time, like an online store, for instance.
Daily Data Back-up in Website Hosting
If you buy any of the website hosting plans that we provide, you may benefit from the backup function featured with our packages by default and at no extra cost. We shall produce a copy of your files and databases not once, but at least 4 times each day, so each time an issue appears on your Internet site for whatever reason, we will quickly restore everything, and in the worst case scenario, your site shall be restored the way it was just a few hours ago. There are two ways for a backup to be restored - you could contact us with a support ticket and we shall do what’s required on our end within an hour, or you could directly copy the information from the backup to the live website folder from the File Manager section of the Hepsia web hosting CP, in which you shall find each of the backups which have been created listed in chronological order.
Daily Data Back-up in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of our Linux semi-dedicated servers offer everyday content backups by default. This feature will allow you to improve your websites without having to worry if something could go wrong, since our system creates a new backup every couple of hours over a seven-day period, so a new backup does not overwrite an earlier one. Restoring the content is super easy and requires just a few minutes - you may use a support ticket and mention the particular date of the backup you want to be restored, or you may just copy the backed-up files, since they will be available in read-only folders inside the File Manager section of your web hosting CP. Each backup folder contains the exact date and time it was produced in its name, so you can easily locate and copy the content which you need, even if you do not have any previous experience with such matters.
