Here Are A Few Reasons Why Backing Up Your Website Is So Important

1. Hackers

Hackers have become all too common on the web. While most hackers are after credit card numbers and other sensitive info, websites get hacked for tons of other reasons as well. If your website is online, there is always the chance that it may become hacked.

 

2. Computer Breakdown

Storing a copy of your files on your computer is a good idea, but your machine could also fail, taking your files with it. Backing up your files professionally is simply a better option. And if you still feel like it, store a cop on your machine, too!

 

3. Updates Gone Wrong

Regular updates mean updated features and increased security, but they sometimes go wrong. This is why it is a best practice to backup before updating. Websites have many components, and updates sometimes do not take all the complexity into account. If there is no backup, your website may become very damaged and stay down for a long time

 

4. Viruses and Malware

Viruses, trojans, and other malware can find their way into your website because people who write them are sneaky and smart. You can download them by accident with a theme or plugin (especially a hacked one!), or they can seep through cracks in your firewall. Having a backup makes you prepared in case something starts going off the rails.

 

5. Human Errors

People make mistakes. Someone just might click a wrong button or delete a file by accident. With a backup, there’s less chance that human error will bring your site down.
