Regular website backups
A backup is the thing nobody thinks about until it is too late, and then it can save a business. An outage, a failed update, a break-in or a plain human mistake: with a good, fresh backup you are back to a working site in a moment. Without one, recovery can be long, expensive or impossible. We make sure that safety net is always within reach.
In brief
- Files and database backed up together.
- Stored off the site server.
- Made regularly and automatically.
- Verified that they actually restore.
What makes a good backup
Files and database together
The database alone or the files alone is not enough. A good backup covers both, so the whole site can be restored.
Off the site server
A copy kept only on the same server dies with it. We store it independently.
Regular and automatic
A six-month-old backup is little help. We make them on a schedule, so there is always a fresh version.
Verified to work
A backup you cannot restore is a false sense of security. We make sure it can really bring the site back.
What you get
- A fast return to a working site after an outage or break-in.
- Peace of mind during updates and changes, there is always something to go back to.
- Protection against the effects of human error, not just an attack.
- An independent copy that survives even a server failure.

Frequently asked questions
Does the host not already back up for me?
Some hosts do, but backups can be infrequent, hard to access or kept on the same server. Your own, independent copy is far more reliable.
How often do you make backups?
We match the frequency to how often the site or shop changes. An active shop needs more frequent backups than a brochure site.
