Cyberattacks, site crashes and human error are among the top causes of small business disruptions, often resulting in extended downtime and lost revenue.
Without a backup, a broken or hacked site may remain offline for hours or days while a site owner attempts to recover it manually. This may also include requiring a rebuild depending on the severity of the issue.
For ecommerce stores or sites with frequent content updates, backups are not optional - they are essential. Although manual backups or third-party plugins are generally dependable, they can sometimes produce incomplete, outdated, or unsuccessful backups.
Automated backup systems, particularly [...]
