When ever our website files size gets bigger there exists a problem of losing data because of various reasons like hardware crash, bugs in the system, etc. To simply put, with out a back up system for all our files and databases, it is more like risking our entire web life.
Ofcourse we can periodically take back ups of all the files but how much do you think your pc can store? and also how often do you think you can back up your files. Technically it is impossible to back up files on your own (it doesn’t matter for smaller websites with few pages or 1 or 2 small databases).
With many features on the hand, Fatcow also offers free back up service to avoid all the problems we might face. Let’s take a look at their back up service.
“1. Fatcow performs periodic snapshot backups of your Web files.
2. Fatcow back up your database files nightly and keep them for 3 days.
3. Fatcow does not back up mail, except for short-term internal purposes to prevent data loss. Deleted mail messages cannot be retrieved from our servers.“
As you can see, the Fatcow back up service is very reliable, to the top of that, you can also do manual back ups using the Fatcow control panel. For manual back ups all you need to do is go to the file manager and scroll down and use the option ‘archieve as zip’ to save the files to your computer.
