I\u2019ll never forget a terrifying phone call I handled when working as a customer support technician for a large web hosting company.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, you have to help me. He\u2019s going to kill me!,\u201d Ricky nervously screamed into my ear. At first I thought someone was prank calling me (which happens from time to time)\u00a0but he quickly shuttered out his account information and I was able to verify this call was legit. Ricky had purchased a Virtual Private Server from this hosting company and was using it to resell his own shared hosting accounts.<\/p>\n

Voice shaking, he proceeded to tell me that one of his client\u2019s (who just happened to have a large WordPress membership website) had come to his house a few minutes earlier, forced his way into his home and \u201croughed him up\u201d a little bit \u2014 literally threatening to kill him if he didn\u2019t get his website data back.<\/p>\n

In der Nacht zuvor fielen in einem unserer SANs (Storage Area Network) zwei Festplatten fast gleichzeitig aus, was bei einer Handvoll Kunden zu einem unwiederbringlichen Datenverlust f\u00fchrte. Ricky war zuf\u00e4llig einer von ihnen. Er hatte Hunderte von Kunden auf seinem Server, deren Daten im Handumdrehen weg waren.<\/p>\n

I felt terrible for Ricky, my heart sunk into my gut as he described what had happened to him, but what could I do? His VPS was located in a data center in England, and I was sitting in a cubical in Utah. I simply couldn\u2019t do anything: his data was gone forever. I asked him if he had any backups available and he said no.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften greater risk is involved in postponement than in making a wrong decision.\u201d
\n- Harry A. Hopf<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We offered $5\/month daily snapshot backups for VPS\u2019s, but Ricky had opted out of that. And unfortunately he never made any of his own local backups. He was paying over $100\/month for his large VPS, and when I asked him why he didn\u2019t choose our cheap $5\/month auto backups, he said he didn\u2019t like the fact that he had to restore the entire VPS from a backup instead of being able to restore individual parts.<\/p>\n

Er sagte, er plane die Einrichtung eines rsync-Sicherung<\/a> cron jobs on his server, but hadn\u2019t gotten around to it as it was a fairly technical job.<\/p>\n

Ricky bef\u00fcrchtete, dass unsere Snapshot-Backups die falsche Entscheidung waren, und schob es vor sich her, seine eigenen einzurichten. Das Ergebnis war, dass er nicht nur die Daten eines Tages verlor, sondern sein gesamtes Unternehmen und sein Leben bedroht war. Wer wei\u00df, wie viele seiner Hunderte von Kunden vielleicht auch ihr gesamtes Gesch\u00e4ft verloren haben.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop talking. Start walking.\u201d

It\u2019s not a question of if you\u2019ll experience data loss, but when. Hard drives don\u2019t last forever, networks don\u2019t have 100% up-time, data gets corrupted, and hackers don\u2019t care about you.<\/p>\n

When it comes to backing up your website data, don\u2019t be so afraid of making the wrong decision that you end up not making any decision at all. Choose\u00a0a backup solution that fits your budget and is capable of backing up both your Website-Dateien<\/strong> & Ihre Datenbank<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is especially important if you\u2019re running a WordPress membership plugin like MemberPress, as 99% of your most important data is stored in your database. If that data gets\u00a0corrupted or lost and you have no backups, you could spend weeks drudging through emails, gateway sales reports, etc. to recover it all. Not to mention all of the angry emails you\u2019ll be receiving from clients in the meantime who cannot access the site or the content they\u2019ve paid for. Most likely they\u2019ll be wanting refunds or free upgrades. That\u2019s enough to break anyone\u2019s spirit, and probably bank account too.<\/p>\n

This post isn\u2019t about how to backup your data but why it\u2019s so important that you do.\u00a0So don\u2019t procrastinate! Many web hosting companies offer free or very cheap automated backup solutions, check with them first to see what\u2019s available for your account.<\/p>\n

Eine weitere gro\u00dfartige L\u00f6sung ist VaultPress<\/a> which is produced by the same people who created WordPress and it\u2019s what we use here on MemberPress.com. One of its greatest benefits is that you can\u00a0have your WordPress site back up and running extremely quickly after a disaster, just select a backup from a past date and click restore.<\/p>\n

Whatever you do, make sure your website is frequently backed up and safe because someday you\u2019ll be glad it is, and that\u2019s a guarantee!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
