It is always good practice to backup your files in case the original files should become lost or damaged. All sites are automatically backed up on a daily basis but these automated backups are intended to supplement your own backups rather than replace them. In addition to backing up your local copy of your site you may also wish to make your own backup of your live site as it exists on the Efficient Hosting web servers. This can be particularly useful if your local copy of your site is no longer up to date. This can happen if some of your site content is generated dynamically on the server itself, through a guestbook or forum script, for example. The Download Site Backup option allows you to download a single backup file containing a compressed copy of your entire site as it exists on the server. This backup file is updated daily and contains every file in your account space including your web site, your graphical visitor statistics (but not your raw access logs which can be downloaded separately) and various other system files, some of which may be hidden files. In order to access individual files within the backup you will need to extract it after download using a utility such as Winzip. Whilst the backup is in a compressed form to reduce the amount of storage space and download time required, please be aware that the file will still contain a backup of your entire account directory and so, depending on the size and popularity of your site, it may be a very large file to download.
