What do you do when something goes wrong with your website?
I’ve been working on WebsiteSave, a website backup and security tool, and while building it I kept coming back to a simple question:
What happens when something suddenly goes wrong with your website?
Maybe an update breaks something. A file changes unexpectedly. A configuration gets messed up. Or you simply need to go back to how the website looked a few days ago.
Having a backup helps, but finding the right backup and understanding what changed can be a different problem.
That’s the idea behind WebsiteSave. It backs up websites and combines the backup history with security and website-health checks, so you have more context when something changes and need to recover.
I'm curious how other people handle this today:
Do you have automatic backups?
How often do you actually test them?
Have you ever needed to restore a website unexpectedly?
When something breaks, how do you figure out which backup to restore?
I'd love to hear how you handle it, especially if you manage multiple websites.
