Our free automated backup service runs once per week on a random day. Weekly backups overwrite previous backups — only one backup (the most recent) is kept at a time. Any shared account using more than 20 gigs of disk space or one hundred thousand (100,000) inodes will be automatically removed from our off site weekly backup with the exception of databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive to help protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.
Easiest Web Hosting's backups are provided as a courtesy and are not guaranteed. Customers are responsible for their own backups and web content and should make their own backups for extra protection. For additional information, please refer to our Terms of Service.
Customers with critical business information or important data are STRONGLY encouraged to seek a third-party backup service such as CodeGuard to protect against any unforeseen circumstances. Such services provide a more fine-grained control over backup and restore operations, allowing the service to be tailored to specific requirements.
How do I restore my free backup?
To restore one of our automatic weekly backups, please contact our support department for assistance. Note that unlike many other web hosts, there is no charge for weekly backup restoration - when we say free backups, we mean it! 🙂
How can I create my own backups?

What If my account was suspended or terminated?
If your account is suspended less than one week before we run backups, your account will still be backed up.
If you have been suspended for more than a week when we run backups, your old backup will be erased and your account will not be included in the new backups. We will thus have no backups for your account.
