Look for one that allows you to schedule backups so that they run automatically.

Think of it this way: rebuilding a WordPress website with nothing but the database is a frustrating but straightforward afternoon of work for a professional developer. Rebuilding a WordPress website with everything <em>except<\/em> the database is all but impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Any quality backup solution <strong>must<\/strong> backup the database as well. Make sure whatever you are using is doing so\u2014 otherwise you may run into serious trouble later!<\/p>\n<p>A good habit to get into is backing up your database anytime you\u2019re about to do something unusual. If you\u2019re updating an old site\u2019s plugins that haven\u2019t been updated in months, backup the database. Going to try running a custom script to replace all of the links on your site? Backup the database!<\/p>\n<p>If you work from the command line, get in the habit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/backup-database-ssh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">backing up the database<\/a> by exporting a copy before you do anything else. Make it a habit. Make it a hotkey. Make a custom app that does nothing but backup your database when you hit a big red button\u2014 just backup the database manually before you try to run it. If you aren\u2019t comfortable with the command line, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/creating-importing-and-exporting-mysql-databases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make database backups via cPanel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/server\/databases\/export-database-using-phpmyadmin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phpMyAdmin<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"manager\">Backup Manager\u2014 Your Site\u2019s Safety Net<\/h2>\n<p>InMotion Hosting started offering our <a href=\"\/support\/product-guides\/backup-manager\/purchase-backup-manager-using-amp-marketplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Backup Manager<\/strong><\/a> as an option in Spring of 2019; the software has proven particularly helpful, especially when it comes to dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/security\/does-your-site-have-malware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">malware and site hacks<\/a>. I\u2019ve personally used it to carry out site restorations in minutes that would have previously taken an hour or two under optimistic circumstances. Backup Manager has a lot of utility that is similar to WordPress backup plugins, but it operates on the account level. This gives you a bit more control than solutions contained entirely within WordPress itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">If you are interested in trying backup manager, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/backup-manager\/purchase-backup-manager-using-amp-marketplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here is how to purchase a subscription using the AMP marketplace<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"full\">Full Account Backups\u2014 Transfer and Archive<\/h2>\n<p>Any hosting account with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/cpanel-control-panel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cPanel<\/a>, even those already using a solution like Backup Manager, have access to cPanel\u2019s built in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/cpanel-backups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Backup tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These backups are thorough, but they are large and not really optimized for quick restorations. They\u2019re great if you are going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/perform-your-own-website-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transfer your site<\/a>, but they work by replacing an existing cPanel account with the version of it that was available when the backup was created. Things like individual emails, recently changed files, and even some database settings can end up overwritten if you rely only on these types of backups.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to tear open the backup and pour through the files to find exactly what you\u2019re looking for, but this is both time consuming and prone to configuration errors\u2014 the sort of thing you do only when all other options have failed. It\u2019s best to view this type of backup as a fallback: make them occasionally and store them securely, but have another system in place for quicker, focused restorations of individual sites.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whm\">WHM Scheduled Backups for Resellers<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/vps-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VPS<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/dedicated-servers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dedicated Hosting<\/a> plan, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/whm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WHM<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/setup-scheduled-cpanel-backups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">regularly create full account backups of various cPanel accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our best advice for these backups is that you make them as a courtesy for your clients, setting up either regular site-backups with something like a WordPress plugin or advising your clients to create backups in addition to these themselves. These backups are essentially full account backups: useful for total account restorations, but slow and unwieldy if you simply want to restore a single site. Plus, it\u2019s never a good idea to take on full responsibility for your clients\u2019 site backups unless you have planned to do so in advance: the time investment required to check up on and test backups to be sure everything is going as planned can add up quickly as you get more clients!<\/p>\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">There is a frequently occurring issue with WHM backups you need to watch out for: because WHM always creates a backup before deleting any old backups, it\u2019s easy to get a disk space warning, even with just a few sites. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/vps-hosting\/running-out-of-disk-space-on-vps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here is our guide on how to deal with the issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"choice\">Choose What to Use<\/h2>\n<p>With all of these options, what arrangement of backups is best? While the specifics will vary depending on your business, your clients, and the time you have available, I like to recommend a \u2018two systems\u2019 approach. Have one system that focuses on quick restoration and backups that are stored off-server. WordPress Plugins and Backup Manager serve this purpose nicely as most WordPress backup plugins can be configured to save the backup to external storage, while Backup Manager automatically stores all backups on a separate server here at InMotion. This will be your main backups: frequently updated and easy to retrieve and use quickly.<\/p>\n<p>For the other system, I advise using the \u2018slower\u2019 solutions like cPanel backups. Make these weekly to monthly and drop them on somewhere they are cheap to store, like a secured external hard drive or cheap web based storage space. You won\u2019t normally want to use these as your first choice, but if you ever need them you\u2019ll be glad you have them, and have them saved elsewhere!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should you use WordPress backups, a database backup, or something more comprehensive like Backup Manager or WHM scheduled cPanel backups?
