Without regular backups, recovery from hacks or crashes becomes impossible.
No Backup Strategy in Place
Key Points: No backups = no safety net. If your site goes down, you start from zero.
You don’t need backups — until you do. A single plugin update, hack, or server failure can wipe everything. Without backups, recovery becomes guesswork, regret, and panic.
💥 What’s at Stake
- Site data lost permanently after attack or error
- No rollback point after bad update
- Restoration becomes expensive and time-consuming
🛠️ Build a Backup Plan
- Use plugins like UpdraftPlus or BlogVault for scheduled backups
- Store backups offsite (Google Drive, Dropbox, or S3)
- Automate and verify backups monthly — test restore function
💬 Advice
Backups are like insurance — boring until you desperately need them.
