At Cloud Zanzibar, we understand that not all backups are created equal. Choosing between full backups and incremental backups can affect storage, speed, and recovery efficiency.
Full Backups
A full backup copies your entire website — all files, databases, emails, and configurations. It’s comprehensive, allowing you to restore everything at once, but it requires more storage and time to complete. Cloud Zanzibar automates full backups so you always have a complete snapshot available.
Incremental Backups
Incremental backups save only the changes made since the last backup. They are faster, use less storage, and still protect your website effectively. Cloud Zanzibar combines full and incremental backups to balance speed, storage, and safety.
Choosing the Right Strategy
-
High-Traffic or Dynamic Sites: Use incremental backups daily and a full backup weekly.
-
Small or Static Sites: Full backups weekly may be sufficient.
-
Critical Data Sites: Combine both approaches for maximum reliability.
Quick Tip:
A well-planned backup strategy uses both full and incremental backups. Cloud Zanzibar makes this simple by automating the process, ensuring your website is always safe and easy to restore.
