What would happen if you lost your website? The answer to that depends on the type of website you have. If you have a static website, then all you really need is one backup when you deploy the site and an on-demand backup whenever something changes. There are packages out there, like the one that most control panels have, that you can use for this sort of thing.
If you have a dynamic website, you need to backup more often; depending on how oftne your website is updated. I use WordPress a lot and use a plugin called BackupWordPress. I usually configure this to take full backups one a month and SQL backups once a week. The full backup picks up things like themes and images that change infrequently, while the SQL backup contains all the content of the website; which changes on a more frequent schedule. Some websites have a variation on this, depending on how fluid they are, but you get the idea. Backups to me are like car mats: they protect your investment and don’t really take that much effort. So make sure you’re covered.
