The occurrence of website hacking attacks is no longer rare in Vietnam, Japan, or anywhere around the world. To prevent this, it's essential to back up your website data to safeguard your resources, even in an attack.

1. What is Backup Data?

Perhaps you have experienced having your data stolen or accidentally lost without knowing how to retrieve it, and you’ve come across the terms “Data Backup” or “Website Data Backup”.

So, what is data backup? Data backup is copying data from storage devices such as servers, computers, phones, etc. The copied data is stored on one or more different devices to create a backup, which helps us protect our data resources 

2. Why You Should Backup Data and How to Back Up Website Data?

What Are the Important Types of Data That Cannot Be Lost?

• Articles and URLs:

Articles and URLs are the main resources for SEO activities. SEO is a marketing activity that most businesses perform. For many companies, their source of customers and profits comes from SEO, accounting for 90%. That’s why business owners invest heavily in building a content system with thousands of articles, internal links, backlinks, etc, and strive to get them into the top 10 ranking.

When a customer searches for a keyword, Googlebot's index will find your articles and direct the customer to the correct URL of that article. If the customer clicks on the article URL but only gets a 404 error page, you lose them to your competitors. This also affects the website's ranking, something your entire Marketing department has invested time and effort into.

Images and Video

Media materials like images and videos about your business, if stored solely on the website without a backup plan, can be extremely difficult to recover if lost. Re-creating these materials is almost impossible, especially items like milestone videos, historical photos of the company, business introduction videos, customer interview videos, and more.

• Information about Services and Products:

Information about your business's services and products is almost the most critical material to convince customers to use those services.

• Customer Information:

Websites typically store information like names, birthdates, addresses, purchase history, etc. This helps you identify and manage loyal and potential customers. Losing this data can make customer care and marketing activities difficult, sluggish, or even come to a halt.
