If you are using shared hosting or vps hosting or dedicated server, at anytime you can perform the database backup, and download the database backup files to your local storage. This is to safeguard your database data from lose or server problem that will crash your data for example. Its our weekly task to login to ipage web hosting control panel and download a backup copy of the mysql database and store it locally for extra protection. Althoug ipage hosting had carried out daily data backup, we still don’t think its enough. Having a local copy is the best practise, and should do so for any shared web hosting that you are currently using.
Its common practise for us to perform weekly backup for this ipage review site, this including files backup and database backup. In order to generate the ipage database backup, we login to ipage vdeck control panel and goes to phpmyadmin and export the database backup files from there and save it locally. We can export the database in plain text file, or compress it into zip or gz format before download the compress files to local storage.
In case of data lost or mysql database backup need to be restored to server, we can login to ipage phpmyadmin page again and import the database to server. We can choose to upload the plain text database format or the compress file format. In second the database can get restored back to previous edition.
Regardless for data security purposes or for website migration purposes, the data backup and recovery feature are very useful. Make sure you know how to use it. We are prefering ipage hosting because their $3.50/mo shared hosting plan are complete with daily backup service for free.
