However, like any website, it is vulnerable to data loss due to hacking, server crashes, plugin malfunctions and theme errors. Losing important data such as user information, comments, and posts can be catastrophic, which is why regularly creating backups is crucial. A backup is a copy of your site\u2019s data stored in a different location as a failsafe in case of data loss. Restoring your WordPress database from backup is the best approach to keep your website running.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_You_Create_Backups\"><\/span>How Often Should You Create Backups?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The frequency of backups depends on how often you update your website and how critical its data is.
