Backups

Backups make a complete copy of website files and your database on a daily basis (the default frequency) so that the website owner can restore their website to the state it was previously. Nevertheless, backups should not be the only security measure taken.

Our remote disaster recovery solution is currently available to website owners using the Sucuri Platform or Sucuri Firewall. The backup service is platform agnostic, allowing it to support websites built on any technology. It operates seamlessly in the background, providing continuous backups at whatever frequency desired.
