Backup your site regularly
Let's say a hacker entered your site and deleted all the articles, replacing them with pages full of “viruses” .
So let's say you went to your hosting service or a company that specializes in cybersecurity and they regained access to your site and deleted the spam articles.
Without a backup of your site, how could you recover all the work you've done?
Now that you understand the importance of backup I recommend a great plugin to benefits of using our homeowner database download: UpdraftPlus .
Once downloaded and activated, go to “Settings – Updraftplus Backup”. The plugin offers us the possibility to schedule the backup of files and database . I recommend setting the backup weekly (for small sites) and daily (for blogs with many articles and very updated).
Now choose the place where you want the plugin to save your backups: I chose G oogle drive . If you want to get a backup right away go to “backup-restore” and click on the “run backup” button.
