Why Offsite Backups Are Essential

In Plain English

A backup is only useful if it’s available when you need it. Offsite backups store copies of your website in a separate location from your hosting server, while redundant backups maintain multiple independent copies for added protection.

This means that even if your hosting server experiences a serious failure, your backups remain safe and available for recovery.

Why It Matters

Keeping backups in separate locations significantly reduces the risk of losing both your website and its backups during the same incident. It’s considered a best practice for business continuity and disaster recovery.

What Could Happen Without It?

If backups are stored only on the same server as your website, a hardware failure, ransomware attack, or hosting issue could affect both your live website and your backups simultaneously.
