In case you are the owner of a website, it's a good idea and even recommended to keep an offline backup of the entire website, including all its databases, so in case the server where the website is hosted crashes unexpectedly, you will still be able to publish the site on another and more stable server. In order to back up all your website files, you could just use a FTP client and copy the files and folders to your computer manually. But things become more complicated when it comes to backing up databases. On the other hand, copying all the site files and folders by hand to your computer can make you waste a lot of time and effort.

A much better solution for backing up websites is to use BackupSF. This program automates the process of backing up your website files and folders and it can even backup databases. Installing the software is no problem, as the installation wizard is self-explanatory. After installing and running the software, you will first need to enter the name of the website that you want to back up and then select the protocol which should be used for accessing site files. The program supports the FTP and SFTP protocols. After entering all the FTP details like the server address, username and password, you will be taken to the next step, where you can select the FTP folders which should be backed up. Next, you should select the site databases which should be backed up by the application.

Last but not least, you can customize the backup frequency. For example, you can configure BackupSF to automatically back up your website files on a daily basis, at a specific hour. This will ensure that your website is backed up at all times, even if users upload new files to it. An unlimited number of backup tasks can be added to the program's interface and each can have its own scheduling.

Pros

It automates the process of backing up your website files and databases, by backing up your website on a regular basis. Besides that, you can use several protocols for accessing website files. Furthermore, you can define an unlimited number of backup tasks.

Cons

The configuration wizard for backup tasks may seem a bit difficult to understand and use at first. BackupSF allows you to easily back up all your website files, folders and databases in no time.
