Understanding Back-Ups

A back-up (or backup) is a copy of data that can be restored in case of loss or corruption. For WordPress sites, this typically includes themes, plugins, and site content. Regularly backing up your site helps prevent data loss and ensures quick recovery in the event of malware infections, server crashes, or other issues.
