For most of us, our websites are a key element to our business. Either being the business itself, or acting as the storefront to the Internet, they provide a significant added value. The last thing any web site owner want is to see their site defaced, damaged or even lost. Dangers lurk everywhere. From a simple human error in site administration to malicious activity and from hardware failure to natural disasters, no web server is the bulletproof vault we’d like it to be.

While nobody expects a catastrophe to hit his site, a good deal of precaution is required. It’s pretty much the same rationale as in wearing a seatbelt while driving; you don’t expect to crash, but if you do you most certainly want to evade the incident unharmed. The web site equivalent to a safety belt is none other than backup.
