The site is routinely backed up locally on dual hard drives as well as well an additional developer version of non-data files. Database files are backed up daily through dumps and hard drive backups. This means multiple snapshots are kept on the server to allow for easier data recovery. As well an occasionally external backup. To ensure more data security the site has been backed up to a new service with better encryption methods and professionally maintained. As always methods for site backups are routinely changed to ensure minimal loss in cases of disasters at minimal cost.
