Backups exist so that if something ever goes wrong — a bad update, an accidental deletion, a hack — your site can be restored rather than rebuilt from scratch.
What’s backed up
A full backup covers both the database (your pages, posts, settings, form submissions) and the files (images, plugins, theme). Both are needed to restore a working site — one without the other isn’t enough.
How often
Amax-hosted sites are backed up automatically on a regular schedule, stored separately from the live site so a problem with the site itself can’t also take out its backups.
If you ever need something restored — even just one page reverted to how it looked last week — contact us with the date you want to go back to.
