Does Network Dynamics offer backups? #
Yes – all of our hosting packages include website backups with up to 60 days of retention.
However, the number of retention points (days’ worth of stored backups) varies between our hosting packages. Keep reading for more details.
At Network Dynamics, we include off-site data backups with every WordPress, eCommerce, and Enterprise hosting service. Our backups ensure that your data remains secure and can be easily restored if needed.
In this guide, you will learn about the details of our backup service, including retention periods and file exclusions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION #
We include remote backups with your hosting to give you extra peace of mind, but it’s important to remember that no system is perfect. While our backups can help, we can’t guarantee they’ll cover every situation. That’s why we strongly recommend keeping your own backups stored separately—just to be safe. That way, your data is always protected, and you can relax knowing you’ve got a solid safety net.
Consider the “3‑2‑1” backup rule:
- always keep THREE copies of your data
- on TWO different types of storage
- with ONE copy stored offsite
Having your own backups stored separately ensures your data is always protected—giving you a solid safety net and peace of mind.

What is and what IS NOT backed up? #
Our website backups capture all the critical components of your hosting account, including files, databases, database users, cron jobs, DNS zones, and emails.

File extensions that are not backed up include;

- .tar
- .tar.gz
