The Program BackupSF Makes Your Website Safe From Being Crashed

Online, July 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Today there are only few people who take a website as just a hobby. It goes without saying that business or job position depends on the website workability. The irretrievable loss of the latest version of files and databases can be just a pity, but in most cases it can be a tragedy, like a loss of source of income.

Of course, today's hosting providers are reliable enough and such cases are few and far between, but they are not so rare to ignore them. The sites are hacked damaging the data base and infecting files. Also server software failures or even fires in data centers can happen.

The web hosting control panels, such as DirectAdmin, cPanel, ISPConfig, GPLHost, ISPmanager have different ways to backup sites. BUT it's worth checking up if the website can be restored from backup copy made by these means. Then the next difficulties can be faced - backup is done rarely, irregularly, and sometimes it does not exist at all. Big sites have another problem - the backup fill the place given by the provider for the website itself, that's why users can't make copies frequently because of the rapid filling of disk space.

But there is another problem - a copy of the site can be physically present at the same hard drive as the site itself and if it's crashed, both of them (the website and backup) simply disappear.

Small and medium-sized hosting providers often neglect the use of serious backup systems, because it costs more. And the standard means of backup service used by hosting providers are not always fully workable. It's not about large hosting services, for which such data loss can severely hit their reputation, but there are over 20,000 web hosting providers and not all of them are giants.

If one thinks about the additional data backup of the website, it is easy to do - merge the backup files of the website using any free FTP client such as FileZilla, and creating a dump of the database through PhpMyAdmin - just select your database and click "Import" button.

It can easily be a part of the daily routine, combining for example with the morning coffee. If there are multiple amount of sites, so coffee can be outlasted , that is why users should entrust the program BackupSF with this routine. The program'll independently and regularly backup files of the website and database on the local computer. A user will just need to enter username and password, database name, user and password and the address of the database server and set the regularity of backup. If the reliability of the hard drive is not really trusted - it's possible to use the sync folder of Dropbox, SugarSynk, Google Drive, or similar cloud service storage as backup folder in the program BackupSF.

The data backup is considered to be the most reliable if only the backup copy is stored in three different places. They are - a backup done by hosting provider + copy on PC + copy of website in the cloud service - the users can be completely tranquil.
