WordPress Backup in Reading

Backup arrangements for Reading WordPress sites, where a site is two things that must be captured together. The database holds posts, settings and users; the file system holds uploads, themes and plugins — and a backup of one without a matching copy of the other restores a site full of missing images or content that references files that are not there.

Why this comes up

The problem

The database is backed up nightly, the uploads directory is not, and a restore would produce a site with no images.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Database and files backed up together, consistent with one another
  • Copies stored away from the server, since a host failure takes both otherwise
  • Retention set so a compromise discovered late still has a clean copy available
  • Restores tested by performing one rather than assuming the backup works
  • Frequency matched to how often content changes and what losing a day would cost
  • The restore process documented, so it can be followed under pressure

WordPress Backup in Reading — common questions

Why must both be captured together?
Because they reference each other. The database records which image belongs to a post and the file system holds the image, so restoring a database from Tuesday alongside files from Sunday produces content pointing at uploads that do not yet exist.
Do backups need to be off the server?
Yes. A backup stored on the same host is lost with it, and it is also reachable by anyone who compromises the site — so an off-site copy protects against both the hosting failure and the attacker who would otherwise delete it.
How far back should retention go?
Far enough to predate a problem you discover late. A compromise or a corruption noticed after three weeks needs a copy older than that, and seven days of retention means the only available backups already contain whatever went wrong.
How do we know a backup works?
By restoring one, into a separate environment, at least occasionally. Backup jobs report that they ran rather than that they produced something usable, and the difference is discovered either during a planned test or during an emergency.
Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
Do you cover the areas around Reading?
Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
