Overview of website backups and data protection strategy

Professional Backup Strategy for Your Website & Business Data

A reliable backup system is one of the most important parts of any hosting solution. Hardware can fail, plugins can break a website, users can accidentally delete content, or a hacked script can corrupt files and databases. Without backups, a single incident can mean days of downtime, lost orders and serious damage to your brand.

With our managed backup solutions, your website, databases and email data are securely copied on a regular schedule to independent storage, so you always have a clean restore point — even if something goes wrong on the live server.

Our approach is designed specifically for businesses in Greece and Europe, where continuity, reliability and data protection are essential.

Backup schedule daily weekly and on demand for websites and servers

Smart Backup Schedules: Daily, Weekly & Before Critical Changes

Not all data changes at the same pace. That’s why we implement flexible backup strategies combining:

  • Daily backups for websites, databases and email accounts
  • Weekly or monthly full snapshots of entire hosting accounts or servers
  • On-demand backups before updates, migrations or major changes

This structure makes it possible to roll back to the most appropriate point in time, depending on the incident. For example, after a bad plugin update you may restore the previous day’s backup; after a long-term content issue you might prefer a backup from last week.

We design the backup policy to match your business model, data volume and legal requirements in Greece and the EU.

Full account file level and database backup levels

Different Backup Levels for Different Problems

When something goes wrong, you don’t always need to restore everything. That’s why we provide multiple backup levels:

  • Full account backups – Entire hosting account, ideal after major incidents.
  • File-level backups – For single files or folders deleted or overwritten by mistake.
  • Database backups – For corrupted tables, bad imports or broken application updates.

This flexibility allows us to restore exactly what is needed, avoiding unnecessary downtime and minimizing data loss. For example, after a faulty plugin update, we can restore only the website files; after a bad product import, we can restore only the database.

You gain precise restore options, not just a “one-button reset”.

Off site backups stored in different data center for security

Off-Site Backups & Redundant Storage Locations

Good backups should not live on the same disk — or even the same server — as the live website. That’s why we store backups in separate, secure storage systems, often in different physical locations within the EU.

This protects your data from:

  • Hardware failures
  • Severe system corruption
  • Ransomware or targeted attacks
  • Human error during local operations

Off-site backups ensure that even in the worst-case scenario, your website, emails and databases can be restored from a clean, unaffected copy stored in a separate environment.

For businesses in Greece, this adds an extra safety layer above standard hosting backups, aligned with modern best practices and European data standards.

Restore in Minutes: One-Click Recovery from cPanel or Plesk

A backup is only useful if it can be restored quickly and easily. Through cPanel, Plesk or our custom restore tools, you can:

  • Restore your entire account from a selected backup date
  • Restore a specific folder or file that was deleted or modified
  • Restore a particular database or single table after an error
  • Restore email accounts or individual mailboxes

Most restores can be completed in just a few minutes, depending on the size of the website or database. During that time, we minimize downtime and coordinate the restore process so your visitors experience as little disruption as possible.

You are never “stuck” after a bad update or a broken plugin — you can simply roll back to a working copy with a few clicks.

Technical team performing assisted restore of website backups

Don’t Worry About the Technical Part — We Restore for You

If you prefer not to touch anything technical, our team can handle the entire restore process for you. You simply tell us what went wrong and approximately when, and we identify the correct backup, test it and restore it safely.

For example:

  • A plugin update broke your WordPress website
  • An employee deleted product categories in your e-shop
  • An import corrupted your real estate listings
  • Malware injected malicious code into your files

In all these cases, we can restore your site to a stable state and, where possible, keep any new orders or leads that arrived after the problem started.

Think of our restore service as an emergency “undo button” for your online business.

Special backup strategy for e shops booking systems and real estate platforms

Special Backup Plans for Transactional & Data-Heavy Sites

Not all websites are the same. An e-shop that receives dozens of orders per day or a booking platform with constant reservations needs a more careful backup and restore strategy than a simple corporate site.

For e-commerce, bookings, CRMs and real estate platforms we:

  • Increase database backup frequency
  • Separate application files from dynamic data where possible
  • Plan restores so that new orders or leads are not lost unnecessarily
  • Coordinate maintenance windows when critical restores are needed

Our goal is not just “to have a backup”, but to restore your system in a way that respects your business logic and daily operations in the Greek and international market.

Backup retention policies and audit ready restore for EU compliance

Retention Rules, Compliance & Audit-Ready Restore History

In many industries, you are required to keep certain records for a minimum period of time for legal, tax or contractual reasons. Our backup and restore systems can be configured with clear retention policies — daily, weekly and monthly restore points kept for specific timeframes.

This approach supports compliance with European regulations and local Greek industry rules, and can be particularly important for law firms, medical practices, accountants, real estate agencies and other high-responsibility sectors.

When needed, we can restore historical backups to reconstruct data, prove changes or support internal and external audits.

In short: your business is not only protected technically, but also prepared from a legal and operational point of view.
