When backing up – remember to back up your website & blog
October 27th, 2008 by Ingrid Cliff
Just a quick tip – when you do your business back-ups (daily of course), remember to also regularly add in backing up your blog and your website to your server. Websites can be corrupted, a wrong button may be pushed and accidentally deleted, it may be hacked into … a whole raft of things can go wrong. Having a back-up is added protection for those situations.
Most people assume their web host will automatically back-up their website for them, but they may or may not do this. The only way to be certain is to regularly do your own back-up of your website and blog to your own system.
If you are like me and fiddle a lot with your site, then weekly site back-ups may work for you. At the very least a monthly back-up of your website will save you lots of hassles if something goes wrong.
My site met with one of those little “count to ten” moments last Friday, but thanks to the back-up I managed to restore the site as soon as I found the problem.
Talk with your friendly IT guru to help you work out how to back-up your website if you don’t know how.
Until next time
