Backups and recovery planning

Make sure the website has usable backups and a clear path to recovery if something breaks.

When it fits

Use this before major updates, hosting moves, provider changes, or when you are not sure whether the site can be restored after a mistake or incident.

What it includes

  • Review of existing backup settings and locations
  • Backup schedule and retention recommendations
  • Restore test or practical recovery check where possible
  • Simple recovery notes for future incidents

How it works

  • Check what is currently backed up and where it is stored
  • Confirm what can realistically be restored
  • Document the safest recovery path and next improvements

Expected result

More confidence that the website can be recovered after a problem, not just that backups exist somewhere.
