Automatic backups are scheduled copies of your website’s files and database that save automatically at set intervals. These backups protect your content and settings in case something goes wrong without you having to manually back up your site. For example, if your website experiences technical issues or gets hacked, you can easily restore it to a previous working version from these saved copies.
