What is website backup and restore and how often should I backup?

A website backup is a complete copy of your website files and database that can be used to restore your site after data loss, hacking, or failed updates. Minimum backup strategy: daily automated database backups + weekly full site backups + one offsite copy. In Connect Quest cPanel, JetBackup (included) automates this — access under Files > JetBackup to restore individual files, databases, or full accounts from stored snapshots. For additional protection, configure offsite backups to Backblaze B2 using the restic tool or UpdraftPlus WordPress plugin (connects to Google Drive, Dropbox, S3). Critical backup rule: test your restore process quarterly — a backup you cannot restore from is worthless. Before any WordPress plugin update or server change: take an on-demand backup first. Storage calculator: average WordPress site = 500 MB-2 GB; 30 daily backups with deduplication ≈ 3-5 GB storage. Free JetBackup on all Connect Quest plans at connectquest.co.in.
