Making regular backups of your data, whether it's on a device or the files which make up your website, should be an essential part of your business security.
With any standard backup, it commonly involves taking a copy of your existing data, overwriting the existing data within your most recent backup.
However, a timeline backup takes regular snapshots of your data which could be files, documents or databases. This allows you to go back over a period of time, normally 30 days, to select a point in time where you can select to restore your data from.
With a timeline backup, if the security on your device or website has been bypassed and your data has been compromised, you have a lot of flexibility when restoring your data by choosing the point in time before any security breaches took place. Selecting a point in time to restore your data will ensure there are no hidden, malicious files while allow you to to enhance your security and make any updates or security patches once your data has been restored.
