# Website Backups With a Tested Restore > Website backup services that define what is covered, where copies live, and who can access them, then test a restore so you know the site can return.

A completed backup job does not answer the question that matters most: could your team restore the site when it needs to? Backup work begins with an inventory of the website’s files, database, media, configuration, and important external dependencies. The resulting plan defines coverage, storage, retention, access, and a controlled restore test. The schedule and recovery expectations depend on the site and the decisions its owner makes. ## A backup is only useful if the right things are in it. Some sites rely on a database for most of their content. Others depend on uploaded files, configuration, or connected services that a simple file copy will not restore. We identify those parts before selecting a backup method. The plan makes exclusions visible so the owner knows what recovery would still require. Storage matters as much as capture. Copies need appropriate access, a retention period, and separation from the failure they are meant to protect against. Those choices reflect your site’s recovery priorities, not an arbitrary default. ## Check the restore path before an emergency. We use an agreed test environment and procedure to check whether the selected backup can be restored. The test records what returned, what did not, and which steps or other providers a complete recovery still depends on. A backup notification by itself is not restore evidence. This work can connect to [Hosting](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/maintenance/hosting/) for infrastructure ownership, [Security Monitoring](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/maintenance/security-monitoring/) for incident visibility, and [Website Care Plans](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/maintenance/website-care-plans/) for ongoing operation. ## How we define the backup system ### Inventory the site. We identify the files, data, settings, and connected services that matter to recovery, along with current backup behavior. ### Set recovery needs. Your team decides what loss or downtime it can tolerate. Those priorities guide coverage, schedule, retention, access, and storage choices. ### Configure and verify. We set up the agreed backup path and test a controlled restore. The record shows both successful recovery and any remaining dependency. ### Assign ownership. We document who checks backup status, who can authorize a restore, and what to do when a job or test fails. ## Backups pricing and scope [Starter Website Care begins at $549 per month](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/pricing/starter-website-care/) and lists backups as part of a wider recurring plan. [Premium Care](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/pricing/premium-website-care/) lists hourly backups in its dedicated environment. A backup-only quote names the website and database, schedule, retention, storage owner, restore test, and recovery responsibility. Backup software or storage fees and disaster-recovery work outside the agreed site need separate terms. ## Know your recovery path. Find out how the site is hosted, what data changes regularly, and what backup process exists today. We map the coverage and restore test your business needs.

[Ask us directly](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/talk-to-a-specialist/?form=book) **Does a successful backup alert prove the site can be restored?** No. It shows a job reported success. A controlled restore test checks whether the copy contains the right materials and whether the documented steps work. **How often should a website be backed up?** The answer depends on how often important data changes and how much loss the business can accept. We use those needs to set the schedule rather than assuming every site needs the same interval. **Who can restore the site?** The owner should name the people who can access stored copies and authorize a restore. Restoration can replace current data, so the approval and recovery procedure matter.
