Hello friends ,

 

Do you guys always keep a backup of your site in case of  potential server crash

 

 

I'll always keep a local back-up and then I back up my MAC on an external 500gb HD every week - it is a good habit to be in

Backups are a must. There's no question about it.

I do back up files and databases, but amazingly NEVER had a server or HD crash resulting in loss of data.

 

I think I probably just jinxed it no-----------------

HDD crashes can easily be avoided if companies do regular health checks on their hardware. Unfortunately, may companies are reluctant to do such checks.

You'll never know how useful it is till it happens, and alot of people don't do it till it happens. I learnt my lesson from a fecking power surge, apparently...

Always, Always, Always, Always, Always, Always, backup your site.

What about hackers? I think backing up your data is a good form.

Backups are very important. We had a total drive failure on one of our servers last week. Luckily we had CDP backups in place but I shudder to think what could have happened if we didn't.

 

BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!
