# 1.2.1. Site Backup

Before creating a new website, we suggest getting a full backup of the current site.

There are two possible methods.

### ${color}[#677a4b](1. Hosting)

* Depending on the server package, there might be a backup option integrated in the hosting account.
* On most servers, the backups will be done automatically each day. Sometimes it is needed to manually configure the backup system.
* Usually the backups are not saved in the same disk space as the site, but this needs to be checked with the hosting support team.

### ${color}[#677a4b](2. Plugin)

* We suggest looking into **BlogVault, UpDraftPlus, All In One Migration**.
* The backups will be saved in the same disk space as the website. But it is also possible to download it on your PC.
* Most such plugins are premium and even if they provide a free version, usually it is used only for generating the backup but not for restoring it.
