System failures & security breaches
Backups are crucial for recovering lost or damaged files. In the event of a system failure or a security breach, having a backup of your website can help prevent loss of data and restore your website to a previous state where all the data was intact.
Coding errors and site updates
Sometime things go wrong, and backups help you get your website up and running again in case of problems that may be experienced through coding errors. Problems can also arise from carelessness when doing site updates.
Plugins, malware and website testing
Compatibility issues with plugins, malware infections, attacks from hackers, and creating a testing version of your website, are numerous other reasons that you want to ensure your website is backed up regularly.
Hosted.com includes daily backups
Daily website backups are included in all Hosted.com cPanel Hosting packages but if you want to manually back up your website, it is a straightforward process.
