Identify what must be recovered
A site may include application files, a database, uploaded media, email and external service settings. A backup of one part is not necessarily a backup of the whole business workflow. Document where the authoritative data lives.
Separate frequency from retention
Daily backups describe how often copies are made. Retention describes how far back you can go. A compromised or accidentally edited site may need an older clean copy. Off-site storage and access controls reduce dependence on the production server.
Test the restore process
Ask who can restore, what access is needed and how long the process is expected to take. Test in an appropriate environment rather than assuming the presence of an archive proves it works. Check forms, integrations and uploaded assets after recovery.
Keep maintenance responsibilities clear
Hosting providers and developers may cover different parts of the setup. Confirm updates, monitoring, incident response and recovery work in writing. No backup policy removes the need for protected accounts and ongoing maintenance.
