Snapshot

A complete backup of a server or website at a specific point in time, allowing quick restoration if issues occur.

A snapshot is like a time capsule for your website or server. It captures the complete state of your files, databases, and configurations at a specific moment. If something goes wrong, such as a bad update or corrupted file, you can restore everything to how it was when the snapshot was taken. Hosting providers often let you schedule automatic snapshots or create them manually before making major changes, they're a quick and reliable backup method that provides peace of mind. Having recent snapshots means you can recover from mistakes or outages in minutes instead of hours.
