\"Backup<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No matter what you\u2019re doing with your hosting account, you need a solid and reliable way to manage backups. Plain and simple, the success or failure of your site over the long term depends upon backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not trying to alarm you. In fact, automating backups for your site has never been easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are Backups So Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We write a lot about backups on the InMotion Hosting blog because we really want to drum it home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can\u2019t be said enough that backups will make or break your site. So the frequent \u201cbackups lecture\u201d is always appropriate and needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know backups are a boring topic. It\u2019s not as exciting as a new marketing strategy or fresh design layout. But that doesn\u2019t mean backups should be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backups are not an \u201cif it ain\u2019t broke don\u2019t fix it\u201d sort of contingency. They\u2019re more like an insurance plan. You don\u2019t want to think about having to use them, but you\u2019ll be glad to have them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imaging your site is hacked. A hack is something that\u2019s mostly out of your control. Some hacks are so minor, like a fake user account on your WordPress site, or a spam comment, but some hacks are so huge they can take down your site completely. A single backup will restore everything to working order instantly. That\u2019s why backups are so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set It and Forget It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to organize your backup strategy is to adopt a \u201cset it and forget it\u201d model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let your backups take care of themselves so you don\u2019t have to think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means backups are being taken and archived in the background. And you\u2019ll only need to retrieve a backup if you have a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not very long ago, setting up this kind of automated system would have required a complicated assortment of shell scripts, file transfer schemes, access tokens, and all kinds of technical concerns you don\u2019t want to have to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, having an automated system is as simple as a single click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a hosting company, we work with customers in need of backups all the time. So we\u2019ve upped your game with our very own Backup Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why InMotion Backup Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
