Cheap hosting rarely includes backup, although in theory many places would be able to find a copy if they tried hard enough. When I looked into hosting, decent backup cost more than the hosting itself.

Originally posted by Sysman View PostRead the contract. The contract I have with my hosting ISP is quite specific about who is responsible for backups. What that means is that if I lose data and ask them to restore it, it's chargeable; if they lose data then its their responsibility, though they cannot guarantee to restore bang up to date copies. I keep my own backups.
There's also the problem of web hosting companies getting taken over, and service levels plummeting. Basic risk management says you should be prepared to switch suppliers at the drop of a hat.
And that of course means having your own backups.
