WordPress backups; do I need them?

Creating daily backups for WordPress websites is essential for several reasons.

Creating daily backups for WordPress websites protects against data loss from malicious attacks, hardware failure, and software issues. A usable backup lets you restore the site or roll back a broken change. Our managed website hosting includes backups, monitoring, and patching so recovery is part of the system rather than a manual task.

What can happen if you don't do daily backups?

If you don't do daily backups, you risk losing important data and information. If a server crashes or a malicious attack occurs, you may be unable to recover any data that was not backed up. Additionally, you may be unable to access data that was backed up if the backup files become corrupted. In some cases, not having a backup could also mean losing irreplaceable data and files.
