For any website, backups are an essential part of regular maintenance. There are various backup systems available and in some cases backups are also done by the website hosting provider. A good strategy for backups is to do them regularly and to keep several copies of your website backups in the event that one of the backups has been corrupted in some way or another.

We recommend a good window of 14 consecutive backups at any given time for your website. This means that when you do the 15th backup, the first backup is replaced and this repeats infinitum. When doing backups always check the logs to see if there were any issues when doing backups. There are many reasons for backups to fail so checking the logs is extremely important.
