A website backup is a snapshot of all your website’s important components. Website backups should include all of the following elements of your website:
- Website code files.
- Any website databases.
- Images.
- Any add-ons, plugins, or themes used by your website.
Making backups of your website is an important part of regular site maintenance. You don’t want to be left without a backup of your site should something happen – such as a security compromise, or if your billing accidentally lapses long enough to cancel your account.
By keeping regular backups, you ensure that you have a way to bring your website back without having to rebuild it from scratch.
