Regular, automatic backups protect against the effects of failures, attacks and mistakes. With Novi, backups are included in the hosting price.
What it means in practice
A backup is a copy of the whole website – files and database – from which it can be restored after a crash, attack, failed update or accidental deletion.
Why it matters for your business
Without a current backup, recovering a website can take days and cost far more than the site itself. With a backup you simply restore the version from before the problem.
Examples and good practice
- Make backups automatically, ideally daily.
- Store copies outside the main server too.
- Keep several versions back, not just the latest.
- Occasionally test that a backup can be restored.
How Novi handles it
On Novi websites automatic backups are included in hosting. The Protection Plus module adds off-site backups for even more security.
