FAQs
Why do I need a website backup service?
No matter how robust your security strategy appears, your website is always vulnerable to attacks from increasingly sophisticated parties, not to mention simple human error. In the worst-case scenario, having a reliable website backup plan limits downtime and restores functionality quickly. This reduces customer complaints and reputational damage. Backups help protect against ransomware attacks, as you'll be less likely to pay ransoms if your backup solution is ready to go. Above all, an effective website backup service provides peace of mind and adds an extra layer of website security for your business.
What is the easiest way to backup a website?
The easiest method is to use an automatic website backup tool that runs scheduled backups in the background, with no manual intervention needed. Under this solution, files are backed up in secure servers on a regular basis. While these backups are typically completed according to a specific schedule, it is also possible to complete manual backups via third-party services. Additionally, plan-based backups of MySQL databases ensure that customer data remains secure.
How often should I backup my website?
Frequent backups are critical for strong data protection and quick recovery. Ideally, schedule automated backups daily or at least weekly to limit the risk of downtime or lost changes. Relying only on manual backups can leave gaps. A dependable online backup service automatically saves your website files and databases so you know your site can be restored at any time.
What is a website backup service?
A website backup service is a solution that automatically saves copies of your entire website, including files and databases. Unlike a plugin or hosting backup, this third-party service works independently and protects you in case of server crashes, hacker attacks, or human errors. Many services, like SiteLock, combine backups with other website security features such as scanning and malware removal for all-around protection.
How do I backup my entire website?
Multiple options are available for backing up entire websites, especially via WordPress. Under a manual approach, this means physically backing up the site by logging into cPanel, locating public_html folders, and completing a manual compression. This is followed by downloading the .zip file and placing this on a secure hard drive. However, this can be time-consuming. Using an automatic website backup tool is faster and safer. Services like SiteLock handle backups on a schedule and store your backup files securely in the cloud, so you can restore them anytime.
How secure is an online website backup service?
Online third-party backup services bring an elite level of security to the backup process, as these bypass the vulnerabilities often attached to backup plugins. These vulnerabilities could potentially allow threat actors to access data or even perform functions that should be limited to administrative-level users.
