Backups

Hosting account backups - what to know

A backup is useful when it is clear what it covers, which date is needed and whether it can be safely restored.

When this matters

Customers often request full account restore when one directory, database table or mailbox would be enough.

How to think about hosting backups: files, database, mail, frequency, restore point and restore testing.

Practical checklist

  • define whether files, database or mail are needed
  • provide date and time before the issue
  • preserve current state before overwrite
  • after restore, test website, forms and mail
