9.6 Backup and Disaster Recovery

Step-by-Step

Website backups

WordPress: UpdraftPlus (free), daily backups to Google Drive. Managed platforms handle this automatically. Always store off-site.

Email list and CRM data backups

Export subscriber list and CRM contacts monthly as CSV to Google Drive.

DNS backup and recovery plan

Screenshot your complete DNS record set. Define how long your business can operate without each system.

Build a "break glass" document

Stored outside your usual systems: domain registrar login, hosting login, Google account recovery, backup locations. Test restores quarterly.

We've seen businesses lose their entire digital presence overnight. Backups aren't exciting until they're the only thing that matters.
