What if I told you that backing up your VPS does not have to be a daunting task?
For many small business owners, one of the most crucial time and resource savers are adequate backups.
When your site is working as it should, things are great. You can conduct business, and people get the information about your business that they need.
But what happens when your site is not correctly working, and the need arises to restore it to a previous point in time when it was working?”
Think through these questions:
- Is your VPS backed up?
- Are only a portion of your files backed up, or are all of the files included?
- Are the backups local to your machine, remote to another secure location, or both?
There are so many choices to make and things to consider when it comes to making sure your files and data get backed up in a secure and orderly fashion. If you don’t have a managed hosting provider or system administrator to help, it can be overwhelming.
