Managed Backup Strategy
How I keep your data safe with daily offsite backups.
Why Backups Matter
Disasters are rare, but they can happen. A power outage, hardware failure, or even an accidental mistake could impact your website. That’s why having a solid backup strategy is essential—it ensures your data is safe, no matter what.
My Backup Process
Every night at midnight, a complete snapshot of your website is taken. This includes all the files, images, and data that make up your site at that moment in time. Here’s how the process works:
- A copy of your website is created and stored locally on the server, allowing for quick restoration if needed.
- At the same time, a second backup is securely transferred to another server in a completely different geographical location.
- All backups are encrypted and transmitted securely, so your data remains private and protected throughout the process.
This layered approach means your website exists in three places at any given time: the original live site, a local backup, and an offsite backup. This redundancy ensures your data is safe, no matter what happens.
Restoring with Confidence
Backups are stored for up to a year, meaning there are up to 365 snapshots of your website available at any time. This gives me the flexibility to roll back to a specific date if needed. Whether it’s restoring a small change or addressing a major issue, the process is quick, reliable, and designed to minimise downtime.
Prepared for Every Scenario
In the unlikely event of a serious disaster—like hardware failure or even a data centre issue—your offsite backup ensures your website can be restored. This means that even in the most extreme cases, your data is safe, and your website can be back online swiftly.
