Regular, automatic backups protect you from the consequences of outages, attacks and mistakes. At Ikoon, daily backups are included in the hosting.
What does this mean in practice?
A backup is a copy of your entire website, meaning both the files and the database. It lets you restore the site after a crash, a hack, a failed update or something deleted by accident.
Why does this matter for your business?
Without an up-to-date backup, restoring a website can take days. That often costs far more than the site itself. With a backup, you simply restore the version from before the problem.
Examples and best practices
- Make backups automatically, preferably every day.
- Store copies outside your own server too.
- Keep several older versions, not just the latest one.
- Test now and then whether you can actually restore a backup.
