This tutorial will walk you through the steps to create your backups so you can relax knowing that your site is being backed up on a regular basis.

To make sure you can restore your website if something goes wrong, you should have periodic backups scheduled. Sometimes you’ll want to manually back up a website in addition to your automatic backups. For instance, if you’re going to make large changes to the website, it’s a good idea to back up your website just in case something goes wrong. That way, you can restore an old version of your website while your developer figures out the problem. It’s also a good idea to create a backup if you’re going to make major changes to your server. We recommend downloading a backup right before you make major changes to your website. This ensures your backup has the most up-to-date website information. It’s easy to back up a website or even your whole server using Plesk!
