Automatic backups are scheduled backup copies that your hosting service creates on a regular basis, such as daily or weekly, without you needing to do anything manually.
These copies save a complete or partial version of your website, including:
Files such as images, documents, and code
Databases such as your WordPress database
Email accounts
Control panel settings
Think of it as a snapshot of your website at a specific moment, ready to be recovered if something goes wrong.
What are automatic backups for?
They are your digital safety net. Imagine something like this happens:
You delete files by mistake
Your site gets hacked
An update fails
Someone changes your site without permission
With an automatic backup, you can restore your site exactly as it was before the problem in just a few clicks.
How often are backups created?
At Bacan.com, the frequency depends on the plan you have, but in general we usually offer:
Weekly backups
Retention of several versions, for example the last 45 days
You can check in your panel, whether cPanel or DirectAdmin, which copies are available and when they were created.
Main advantages of automatic backups
Time savings: you do not need to create them manually
Peace of mind: there is always a copy available
Easy recovery: you can return to an earlier version in minutes
Loss prevention: they protect your work and your clients' work
Can they be restored easily?
Yes. Open a ticket and our technicians will help you with the restoration process.
Practical advice
Even if you already have automatic backups, it is still a good idea to download a manual copy from time to time, especially before making major changes to your website.
