We recommend you backup your website files and databases on a regular basis and keep those files in a secure place. When performing any upgrades to applications or making simple changes to a site, there is always a chance that something may go wrong. By backing up your files regularly, you protect yourself against any unfortunate incidents and allows you to restore your files quickly should anything goes wrong. We perform our own regular backups to customers files, however we only keep these backups for a limited amount of time. The backups we take are for disaster recovery purposes (in case our systems fail) and, as such, individual account restorations are time consuming and costly. We can perform individual account restorations upon request, however this service incurs additional fees and takes longer than restoring from a self taken backup would. We recommend all customers follow the instructions below and regularly take a backup of their website files.
