subject: Why Virtual Servers Backups Are Essential [print this page] Its a sad fact that sometimes in life things go wrong. It often doesnt matter how well prepared you are, or how careful you are, mistakes happen or unforeseen circumstances occur and cause you and your business potential problems. What matters then is how prepared you are to deal with these eventualities. This is why, at VirtualServers, we have the ability to back up your virtual servers daily so that your data, your website and your livelihood are all protected.
This is perhaps more important online than it is in any other walk of life. Due to the nature of the Internet, with data moving back and forth from machine to machine, corrupt data, viruses and malware can be transferred from computer to computer very easily if the correct procedures have not been followed.
Also, as websites are very public extensions of businesses, there are those who seek to intentionally deface websites with hacks and malicious content. Should the worst happen, you need to know that your website and your data are securely backed up so that it can be restored quickly and easily, with minimal disruption to your business operations.
There is nothing worse than finding that you have been the victim of a malicious hack, or a hardware failure, only to find that your website and your customer data hasnt been backed up for many months, or worse, ever.
A virtual private server is only as good as its security and its back up contingency.
