Backup Your Content
In order to create a website which has a lot of valuable information and is popular with the masses, a lot of effort, money, and time are needed. The success and popularity of most websites depend on the data contained in it.
People around the world are aware of the fact that it is not easy to create a website and maintain it. A lot of effort,
money, and time are needed in order to create a website which has a lot of valuable information and is popular with the masses. The success and popularity of most websites depend on the data contained in it. Take for example Wikipedia.org, which is one of the 5 most popular websites in the world and is used universally. If for any reason the website loses its massive amount of data, people who visit the site multiple times on a daily basis will stop using it for good. Hence, websites like Wikipedia and other popular websites create backup of their data so that they can always remain active and popular.
Creating a backup of your content is very important as the data can be lost without any warning for the following reasons:
1) Computer crash - the computer which acts as the server for your website, where all the data of the website is stored, can crash at any moment without showing any prior warning. Even computers manufactured by the best possible companies and with the best possible configurations can crash at any moment without any warning. Such is the unpredictable nature of computers. Hence, it is very important to create backup of your data so that you can easily recover them if the computer or the server crashes.
2) Technical Glitches - different technical problems with the computer, the server or with the web hosting company can erase the data contained in your website. Such technical glitches cannot be predicted as well, and they can happen at any moment. They are not caused by any human errors and so, we cannot be prepared to deal with them.
3) Hacking - the websites of some of the most reputed firms in the world, including the US DOJ website and the Sony Play Station network websites were broken into by hackers. Thus, no website is safe from hacking and it is better to create a backup for data recovery in case your website is hacked.
4) Human Errors - the people dealing with your website or the website admin could accidentally delete any data contained in the website and so it is better to create a backup which will could help you to restore any changes made.
