WordPress Backups & recovery
Reference articles for WordPress backup and recovery planning: what a real backup contains, how often to run one for a content site versus a WooCommerce store, where to put the backups so a single hosting incident cannot take both the site and its restore points with it, and how to actually recover when the time comes.
A backup you have never restored is not a backup. Each article is written with the recovery path in mind so that the strategy and the emergency use it supports stay connected.
