Having said that, please enjoy the information contained herein, and do apply the same logic to non-WordPress sites as well:&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is the most popular content management system on the planet. And for good reason. It&#8217;s easy to use, and offers an incredible wealth of functionality through plugins.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s consider just one aspect of managing a site: performing backups. There are many reliable, easy-to-use plugins available for backing up a WordPress site. That&#8217;s why you regularly backup your business WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p>Right?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>No? You&#8217;re Not Alone'\u00a6<\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwired.com\/press-release\/codeguard-survey-reveals-serious-wordpress-security-gaps-1998844.htm\" target=\"_blank\">recent survey<\/a> revealed that nearly half of WordPress users do not perform regular backups.<\/p>\n<p>So if you don&#8217;t frequently backup your WordPress site, you&#8217;ve got lots of company. Perhaps that will offer you some measure of consolation. After all, according to the old saying, misery loves company.<\/p>\n<p>And if you continue to be lax about backing up your site, it&#8217;s quite possible that you will end up miserable &#8211; but with lots of company.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because bad things can happen to any website &#8211; even WordPress-powered sites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Updates, Break-Ins and Blunders<\/h3>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/04\/backing-up-wordpress-youd-better.html\" target=\"_blank\">Small Business Trends report<\/a>, regularly backing up your WordPress site may save you from one (or more) of three common occurrences that regularly vex website owners:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Update Problems<\/strong>: Like any other well-maintained piece of software, WordPress code is frequently updated. That means that your WordPress site should be frequently updated. But with each update, there&#8217;s a risk &#8211; a possibility that one of the plugins you use won&#8217;t be in sync with the code update. And that can cause major problems, up to and including the complete failure of your website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If that happens, it&#8217;s really not a major problem. You identify the problem plugin, replace or update it, and restore your site with the most recent backup.<\/p>\n<p>You say your backup is months old? Or you don&#8217;t even have a backup? Umm, OK'\u00a6<em>now<\/em> you have a major problem on your hands. And lots of miserable company.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Attacks and Hacks<\/strong>: Your site is under constant threat of a cyber attack. In fact, the cyber security company Symantec <a href=\"http:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2014\/05\/symantec-introduces-norton-small-business.html\">recently reported<\/a> that nearly a third of all cyber attacks target small businesses. There&#8217;s much you can do to defend your site against cyber criminals. But alas, there&#8217;s no way to assure that your site is absolutely invulnerable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So if the worst happens and your site does get hacked, having a very recent backup will go far towards minimizing the downtime &#8211; <em>and<\/em> the pain.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Oopsies<\/strong>: Accidental file deletions happen with great regularity. In fact, there are really only two types of people: those who have accidentally deleted files, and those that will. So if an accidental deletion hasn&#8217;t yet occurred at your business, it will. It&#8217;s only a matter of time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And when it happens, it&#8217;s not a big deal. Not if you have a recent backup. But if you don&#8217;t have a backup? Well, you have our sympathies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>So How Frequently <em>Should<\/em> You Perform Backups?<\/h3>\n<p>For most businesses, daily backups are best. Particularly active businesses may even wish to perform backups multiple times per day. But certainly no business should go more than a week without performing a backup.<\/p>\n<p>Backups, after all, are easy. They can be automated to occur seamlessly and behind the scenes. There are lots of options for WordPress users, ranging from free plugins to paid third-party services.<\/p>\n<p>And cloud-based backup options can even protect your business data from calamities such as natural disasters and fires.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Just Do It'\u00a6<\/h3>\n<p>As the old Nike commercial recommends, when it comes to backing up your WordPress site &#8211; just do it. Choose your preferred backup method, and just do it. And do it frequently.<\/p>\n<p>After all, misery may indeed love company. But your company doesn&#8217;t love misery, does it?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t use HostGator&#8217;s Managed WordPress solution?
