Some things can be replaced—like a phone, a computer, or furniture. But when it comes to your website’s files, a single mishap without a proper backup can mean losing everything!
Many people believe their digital data is somehow “safe,” only to learn the hard way how devastating it is to lose irreplaceable work. That’s precisely why World Backup Day exists: to remind us that safeguarding our digital assets is just as important as locking our front doors. Raising awareness about the importance of backups; according to a report published by World Backup Day, 21% of people never back up anything. That’s a scary statistic, given the constant risk of data loss. Another report shows accidents cause 29% of data loss cases! Life is unpredictable, and you cannot always tell whether something will go wrong. What we can do, however, is prepare for unexpected circumstances. So, what exactly is World Backup Day, and what does it represent?

Your data can include anything from work files to personal items like family pictures, eBooks, and messages. In simpler terms, a backup is a copy of your important data saved somewhere safe where you can always access it if and when needed.
