Types of Website Backups

There are several types of backups that you can do. The difference between this backup process lies in its purpose and usage. As for website backups you can do:

Full backup is done if you want to migrate from hosting A to hosting B. Either the same or different hosting service provider.

Partial backup is done if you only want to move some parts of the website. For example, backup website files only. Or just backup the database.

3. Backup For Manual Migration

Well, this backup is usually done if you want to:

  • move the website files that have been added, to another domain / subdomain,
  • move website files from domain to subdomain or vice versa,
  • manual website migration to a different hosting.

In essence, this backup process has 2 stages, namely backing up the website files into a .zip form and exporting the database. First, you have to compress the website files into .zip form. Then export the database into .sql form. So you will have a .zip backup file and a .sql database file. The two files will later be restored to the destination hosting / domain.
