What are backups? ” Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery). The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Data loss is also very common. 66% of internet users have suffered from serious data loss.” Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup
Qualities of a good WordPress backup ,[object Object]
Complete: The backup must be able to fully restore the site. This includes both the database and files.
Automation: Save time and prevent loss due to forgetting by making the backups automatic.
Duplication: Don't have a single point of failure. Can the backup can be easily (automatically?) copied to another location?
