Hi,<br />
<br />
I am in the process of looking into new ways to manage the backups of my client's websites.<br />
<br />
I host all of my client's websites on Digital Ocean, and each VPS (droplet) is backed up each week (4 times a month) for 20% of the VPS cost... &nbsp;however i recently found out that this does not include a backup of the database.<br />
<br />
Can anyone recommend any other backup systems or scripts that will automatically backup the files and database on a daily basis... even to 3rd party storage?<br />
<br />
01 - &nbsp;80% of my websites are Wordpress based, so even a plugin that will backup the files and database on a regular basis would suffice<br />
02 - 20% of my websites are custom php / mysql sites so to put some other measure in place<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance for your help.

Website Backup Options

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
