Well, backups are not only necessary in the case of WordPress websites but also in other platforms you are using to maintain your website. In fact, if you have a website, you should have regular backups.
Backing up your website enables you to recover a working version of your website if anything goes wrong with it.
For a matter of fact, there are various things that can break a site including a human error, an error occurring during an update, an external attack or a brute force attack, and a server crash. Usually, a website is not responsible for errors related to a server crash, which is why it is often recommended to consider using a highly secure and reliable hosting service provider.
Though sometimes, errors related to the server can be so severe that it can bring your whole website down. You may lose a small part it, such as videos and images, or certain formatting of the website—or you may even lose your whole website in a matter of seconds. Thus, this risk pretty much explains why you cannot overlook regular backups for your website. How frequently you have to store your backup depends completely on your personal choice.
You can either do it every day or once a week. Basically, if you are one of those webmasters who post more than 30 articles on a regular basis, you should consider backing up your site more often. However, there are also times when you lose your backup. Or perhaps you forget to store one in the first place! Well, if you are in such a predicament, this article is going to help you restore your website without a backup. Google cache is one of the best ways to restore your website and is the only caching service that displays functional links and pages exactly as the real version of your website.
In reality, the pages on websites are just simple files on a computer. For example, the article that you're reading now is just a simple file similar to a document you type in Microsoft Word that is placed on a computer located somewhere in the world. The reason you can read it from your home or office or wherever is that the aforesaid computer is connected to the same network of devices that you are connected to that is, the Internet. It's similar to how a telephone works.
So how does a website typically get removed from the Internet? Now, I don't mean irrelevant ways like a power failure, flood, earthquake or what-have-you. Obviously these will also remove websites, and in the case of natural disasters, possibly even whole computers, buildings and people. Since a website is just a bunch of files documents residing on a computer somewhere, it gets removed the same way you remove unwanted files from your computer.
You simply delete them. Now, some of you who are only familiar with desktop or laptop computers are probably thinking, "Oh, there's hope then. Maybe we can get it out of the Recycle Bin or Trash". However, you are thinking like a user who owns a computer that exists solely to serve your needs.
Computers that are used for websites are busy things. A single computer can hold hundreds of websites. A business that runs such computers is not going to keep the deleted files in a recycle bin for someone who is no longer a paying customer. When they delete files, they don't do a pseudo-delete where the files are simply moved to a recycle bin.
They truly delete them, and the space is reclaimed for others who are paying for it. All respectable web hosts the businesses that run the computers holding your website have backups of the sites they store on their computers.
These backups are created so that if the computer with your website fails as all machines are wont to do eventually , the web host can quickly restore your website from the archive onto a different computer, and get it up and running quickly. You may think that this means you have a chance to recover your old abandoned site.
That is, if your relationship with your old web host is still amicable, you may be considering asking them if you can get your old files back. That may or may not work. Web hosts probably don't keep backups extending very far back in time. Their backups are made to serve the very specific purpose of making sure they can quickly put your current site back on the Internet should their hardware fail. Join the discussion.
