A backup of a site is a copy of its content, which is kept on a different server and could be restored if something happens. This feature is rather handy, since you can never know if a script update won't crash or if you won't delete something by mistake - a file, a folder, a database entry, and so on. When your site is backed up, it could be restored the way it was until the problem appeared, so there won't be any damage, or at least it'll be very little, based on the specific situation. Keeping backups on your laptop or computer is not very feasible, due to the fact that you would have to do it at least once each day and you can still lose data in case your last backup isn't recent enough. In this light, you'll need to rely on your hosting company, so you have to double-check their policy on the backups, due to the fact that some companies generate backups once each week, that will do no good if a problem occurs with an Internet site which is being used and updated constantly, such as an online store, for example.
Daily Data Back-up in Hosting
If you order any of the hosting plans we provide, you could take advantage of the backup feature that comes with our packages by default and without extra cost. We'll produce a copy of your files and databases not once, but at least four times a day, so each time an issue shows up on your website for whatever reason, we will easily restore everything, and in the worst type of scenario, your Internet site will be restored the way it was only some hours ago. There are two ways for a backup to be restored - you could contact us via a support ticket and we'll do what’s required on our end inside an hour, or you may directly copy the information from the backup to the live site folder from the File Manager section of the Hepsia web hosting CP, where you will find all of the backups which have been produced listed in chronological order.
Daily Data Back-up in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of our semi-dedicated servers offer everyday content backups by default. This option will allow you to improve 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 does not overwrite an earlier one. Restoring the content is quite simple and usually takes only a few minutes - you can use a support ticket and mention the date of the backup that you want to be restored, or you may just copy the backed-up files, considering that they'll be available in read-only folders within the File Manager section of your hosting Control Panel. Every single backup folder contains the exact time and date it was made in its name, so you could instantly locate and copy the content you require, even in case you don't have any prior experience with such matters.
