Why is backup of your OpenCart store so important?
Protect your business: OpenCart store backup 🛡️
Imagine that your OpenCart online store suddenly stopped working. All data about products, orders and customers disappeared overnight. Sounds like a nightmare, doesn't it? 😱 Unfortunately, such situations happen more often than we would like. But there is a reliable way to protect your business from data loss - regular backups.
Main causes of data loss 📉
- Hacker attacks and break-ins 👨💻
- Operational failures hosting or servers 🖥️
- Errors when updating or setting up the store ⚙️
- Accidental deletion of important files 🗑️
According to statistics, every third online store experiences data loss at least once a year.
Many store owners underestimate the importance of backup, thinking that it won't affect them. But the reality is that risks of data loss exist for every online business.
Benefits of backup 🔒
- Protection against loss of important information 📁
- Ability to quickly restore store operations 🔄
- Confidence in the security and stability of your business 😌
Elbuz company offers professional services for backup and recovery of OpenCart stores. Our specialists will set up automatic creation of backups on a schedule and will monitor their relevance and integrity.
How is OpenCart backed up?
- Setting the frequency of creating backups (daily, weekly, monthly) 📅
- Selecting objects to copy (files, database, images) 🗂️
- Determining the storage location of copies (local server, cloud storage) ☁️
- Checking the integrity and possibility of restoring backups 🔍
A good backup is not the one that was created, but the one that was successfully restored.
