I’m genuinely surprised by how many clients we speak to that host their sites and either don’t have a Backup of their site, don’t regularly schedule backups, or are using a method that backs up the site on the server it’s hosted on. When catastrophes happen, this isn’t a solution. Here are three scenarios we’ve seen firsthand:

• The site is hacked and malicious code is inserted into core code and even the database, making it nearly impossible to clean the site. It wasn’t backed up and can’t be restored.
• The site is updated and breaks, but it wasn’t backed up and can’t be restored.
• The hosting goes down for an extended period or goes down indefinitely. There’s no backup to restore the site to a new host.

Safeguarding the investment you’ve made in your website is paramount. Imagine losing months of hard work to populate a site instantly due to a simple mistake. One of our clients learned this the hard way when an administrator deleted a user from their CMS, resulting in all of their associated content being deleted as well. The content was gone, and panic ensued.

Our engagement was to build the client’s theme, not manage hosting and implementation, which meant they only had a theme backup, leaving the vital content stored in the database unprotected. To make matters worse, neither the client nor their inexpensive hosting provider had a reliable database backup method.
