Our Point of Difference:
“Website backups are only as good as their last test. We don’t just back up your site; we can regularly test those backups on a secure staging site, so we are assured of a successful restoration when you need it most.”
Regular website backups are a foundational service and the most critical lifeline for a site. Our WordPress data backup solutions protect all the site’s data—including files, databases, themes, and plugins—from catastrophic events like hacks, accidental deletions, or server failures. The true value of a professional backup service is not just in the creation of a backup file but in the assurance that the backup is viable and can be successfully restored in a crisis.
WMS NZ’s plans offer automated, daily and weekly backups that are stored in secure, offsite cloud servers. This offsite storage is crucial because it ensures the backup is not compromised if a hacker gains access to the entire server.
The research repeatedly highlights the importance of testing backups to ensure they can be restored correctly. A DIY user might install a plugin and feel secure, but without a test, they could face a critical failure when they need the backup the most.
The WMS NZ service can transform a potential liability into a reliable asset by providing both the backup file and the assurance of a successful restore. This ensures quick disaster recovery and peace of mind.
Benefits and Risks of Your WordPress Website Backups Strategy
Benefits:
- Peace of mind. A reliable backup is the ultimate protection against data loss and provides confidence in the event of an emergency.
- Quick disaster recovery. In the event of a hack or crash, a recent backup allows for a fast restoration, minimizing downtime.
- Compliance and security. Regular backups are a key component of a robust security plan, ensuring that a business can recover from a breach.
Risks:
- Failed or incomplete backups. Not all backups are created equal, and some may be corrupt or fail to capture all of the site’s data.
- Non-restorable files. A backup file is useless if it cannot be restored. Without testing, a business may not discover this issue until it is too late.
- Compromised backups. If a backup is stored on the same server as the live site, it can be compromised in a full-server hack.
