Website Backup& Recovery
Never lose your website. Automated daily backups with tested recovery procedures mean your site can be restored quickly when disaster strikes.
Backups: The Insurance You Hope You Never Need
Imagine losing your entire website. All your content, all your images, all the work that went into building it—gone. It happens more often than you'd think. Hacks, accidental deletions, failed updates, server crashes, or hosting provider errors can all wipe out a website.
When disaster strikes without backups, recovery options are grim. Rebuilding from scratch takes weeks and significant expense. Sometimes content is simply unrecoverable—years of blog posts, customer testimonials, and carefully written pages lost forever.
With proper backups, recovery is different. Something breaks? We restore from yesterday's backup in minutes. Hack infects your site? We restore to before the infection. Accidentally delete important pages? We bring them back from backup.
But not all backups are created equal. A backup that's never tested might not restore properly. A backup stored on the same server as your site is useless if that server fails. A backup from six months ago doesn't help if you need yesterday's content.
Our backup service does backups right. Daily automated backups stored securely offsite. Regular testing to verify backups actually work. Multiple restore points so you can go back days or weeks. And fast recovery when you need it.
Backup Service Features
Comprehensive protection for your website data.
How Our Backup System Works
Reliable, automated protection for your website.
Automated Daily Backups
Every night, your entire website is backed up—all files, all databases, all configurations.
Backups run automatically during low-traffic hours. You don't need to remember to do anything; protection is continuous.
Secure Offsite Storage
Backups are transferred to secure storage separate from your hosting server.
If something happens to your server, backups remain safe. We use redundant storage so backups themselves are protected.
Retention Management
We maintain 30 days of daily backups, so you can restore to any point in the past month.
Need to undo something from two weeks ago? We have that backup. This window gives you flexibility in recovery scenarios.
Pre-Update Backups
Before applying any updates to your site, we take a backup first.
If an update causes problems, we can immediately restore to the pre-update state. Updates become essentially risk-free.
Regular Testing
We periodically test backups by performing test restores.
Backups that don't restore properly are useless. Testing confirms our backups will work when you actually need them.
Fast Recovery
When you need to restore, we do it quickly—usually within an hour.
Full site restoration gets your website back to a working state fast. Partial restoration (recovering specific files) can be even quicker.
When Do Restores Happen?
Common restore scenarios include: recovering from hacks or malware, undoing failed updates, recovering accidentally deleted content, reverting unwanted changes, and recovering from database corruption.
We handle all restores for you. Just tell us what you need recovered and from when, and we'll have your site back quickly.
Benefits of Professional Backup Services
Why automated, managed backups matter.
Peace of Mind
Know your website is protected. Whatever happens—hacks, errors, accidents—you can recover without losing everything.
Fast Recovery
When disaster strikes, recovery is measured in minutes or hours, not days or weeks. Your business gets back online quickly.
Multiple Restore Points
Choose exactly when to restore to. Need yesterday? Last week? Two weeks ago? We have those backups ready.
Risk-Free Updates
With pre-update backups, you can apply updates confidently. If anything goes wrong, instant rollback is possible.
Protection From Yourself
Accidentally delete something important? Make a change you regret? Backups let you undo mistakes without consequence.
Offsite Security
Backups stored separately from your site survive even if your entire server is compromised or destroyed.
Backup vs. No Backup: Recovery Scenarios
Real scenarios showing why backups matter:
Hack Recovery: Without backup: You discover malware on your site. Cleaning requires finding all infected files, which can take days. Meanwhile, your site is down or dangerous to visitors. You may never find all the malicious code. | With backup: We identify when the infection occurred, restore from a clean backup before that date, patch the vulnerability, and you're back online in under an hour.
Failed Update: Without backup: A WordPress or plugin update breaks your site. You spend hours trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. | With backup: We restore from the pre-update backup taken automatically. Your site is back in minutes while we figure out what caused the conflict.
Accidental Deletion: Without backup: Someone accidentally deletes important content or pages. That work is simply gone unless you can recreate it. | With backup: We restore the deleted content from the most recent backup that contained it. Nothing is permanently lost.
Database Corruption: Without backup: Database errors make your site unusable. Repair might be possible, might not. | With backup: We restore the database from backup. Complete recovery even from serious database problems.
