A saved copy of your WordPress files and database used to restore the site after damage.
Last updated ยท Reviewed by Ali Hassan
A complete backup includes files (themes, plugins, uploads) and the full database. Backups stored only on the same server are not real backups. We keep off site copies in at least 2 regions and test restores monthly so we know they work.

Incremental Backup
A backup that only saves what changed since the last backup, making frequent backups practical.

Reverting your site to a previous working state after a failed update or bad deploy.
Off Site Backup
A backup stored on different infrastructure from your live site, so a server failure cannot destroy both.
